Properties of Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas
In this paper we analyse the properties of hierarchical Archimedean copulas. This class is a generalisation of the Archimedean copulas and allows for general non-exchangeable dependency structures. We show that the structure of the copula can be uniquely recovered from all bivariate margins. We derive the distribution of the copula value, which is particularly useful for tests and constructing ...
متن کاملGeD spline estimation of multivariate Archimedean copulas
A new multivariate Archimedean copula estimation method is proposed in a non-parametric setting. The method uses the so called Geometrically Designed splines (GeD splines), recently introduced by Kaishev et al. (2006 a,b) [10] and [11], to represent the cdf of a random variable Wθ, obtained through the probability integral transform of an Archimedean copula with parameter θ. Sufficient conditio...
متن کاملArchimedean copulas with applications to VaR estimation
Assuming absolute continuity of marginals, we give the distribution for sums of dependent random variables from some class of Archimedean copulas and the marginal distribution functions of all order statistics.We use conditional independence structure of random variables from this class of Archimedean copulas and Laplace transform. Additionally, we present an application of our results to VaR e...
متن کاملLocal dependence estimation using semiparametric Archimedean copulas
The authors define a new semiparametric Archimedean copula family having a flexible dependence structure. The family’s generator is a local interpolation of existing generators. It has locally-defined dependence parameters. The authors present a penalized constrained least-squares method to estimate and smooth these parameters. They illustrate the flexibility of their dependence model in a biva...
متن کاملWhisker detection as a shortest path problem
In an attempt to understand how the brain encodes tactile stimuli, neuroscientists commonly investigate how rodents translate whisker motion into a sensory percept. Analysis of whisker dynamics is a challenging task. Rats, have about 30 whiskers per side and in single-viewing angle experiments, occlusion and intersection occur frequently. In this paper we present an unsupervised method for whis...
