Copula-Based Regression Estimation and Inference

In this paper we investigate a new approach of estimating a regression function based on copulas. The main idea behind this approach is to write the regression function in terms of a copula and marginal distributions. Once the copula and the marginal distributions are estimated we use the plug-in method to construct the new estimator. Because various methods are available in the literature for ...

Copula regression spline models for binary outcomes

We introduce a framework for estimating the effect that a binary treatment has on a binary outcome in the presence of unobserved confounding. The methodology is applied to a case study which uses data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and whose aim is to estimate the effect of private health insurance on health care utilization. Unobserved confounding arises when variables which are ass...

Bayesian inference for multivariate copulas using pair-copula constructions

This article provides a Bayesian analysis of pair-copula constructions (Aas et al., 2007 Insurance Math. Econom.) for modeling multivariate dependence structures. These constructions are based on bivariate t−copulas as building blocks and can model the nature of extremal events in bivariate margins individually. According to recent empirical studies (Fischer et al. (2007) and Berg and Aas (2007...

Nonlinear‎ ‎Regression Models Based on Slash‎ ‎Skew-Elliptical Errors

‎In this paper‎, ‎the nonlinear regression models when the model errors follow a slash‎ ‎skew-elliptical distribution‎, ‎are considered‎. ‎In the special case‎ ‎of nonlinear regression models under slash skew-t distribution‎, ‎we‎ ‎present some distributional properties‎, ‎and to estimate their‎ ‎parameters‎, ‎w...
