Parameter Estimation of Some Archimedean Copulas Based on Minimum Cramér-von-Mises Distance
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new estimation method for estimating the Archimedean copula dependence parameter in the non-parametric setting. The estimation of the dependence parameter has been selected as the value that minimizes the Cramér-von-Mises distance which measures the distance between Empirical Bernstein Kendall distribution function and true Kendall distribution functi...
متن کاملEfficient Minimum Distance Estimation with Multiple Rates of Convergence
This paper extends the asymptotic theory of GMM inference to allow sample counterparts of the estimating equations to converge at (multiple) rates, different from the usual square-root of the sample size. In this setting, we provide consistent estimation of the structural parameters. In addition, we define a convenient rotation in the parameter space (or reparametrization) which permits to dise...
متن کاملNonparametric Maximum Likelihood Density Estimation and Simulation-Based Minimum Distance Estimators
Indirect inference estimators (i.e., simulation-based minimum distance estimators) in a parametric model that are based on auxiliary nonparametric maximum likelihood density estimators are shown to be asymptotically normal. If the parametric model is correctly specified, it is furthermore shown that the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix equals the inverse of the Fisher-information matrix. T...
متن کاملThe Minimum Evolution Distance-based Approach to Phylogenetic Inference
Distance algorithms remain among the most popular for reconstructing phylogenies, especially for researchers faced with data sets with large numbers of taxa. Distance algorithms are much faster in practice than character or likelihood algorithms, and least-squares algorithms produce trees that have several desirable statistical properties. The fast Neighbor Joining heuristic has proven to be qu...
متن کاملMinimum Local Distance Density Estimation
We present a local density estimator based on first order statistics. To estimate the density at a point, x, the original sample is divided into subsets and the average minimum sample distance to x over all such subsets is used to define the density estimate at x. The tuning parameter is thus the number of subsets instead of the typical bandwidth of kernel or histogram-based density estimators....
