Parameter estimation for pair-copula constructions
We explore various estimators for the parameters of a pair-copula construction (PCC), among those the stepwise semiparametric (SSP) estimator, designed for this dependence structure. We present its asymptotic properties, as well as the estimation algorithm for the two most common types of PCCs. Compared to the considered alternatives, i.e. maximum likelihood, inference functions for margins and...
متن کاملDefault probability estimation via pair copula constructions
In this paper we present a novel Bayesian approach for default probability estimation. The methodology is based on multivariate contingent claim analysis and pair copula theory. Balance sheet data are used to asses the firm value and to compute its default probability. The firm pricing function is obtained via a pair copula approach, and Monte Carlo simulations are used to calculate the default...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of pair-copula constructions with the empirical pair-copula
A pair-copula construction is a decomposition of a multivariate copula into a structured system, called regular vine, of bivariate copulae or pair-copulae. The standard practice is to model these pair-copulae parametri-cally, which comes at the cost of a large model risk, with errors propagating throughout the vine structure. The empirical pair-copula proposed in the paper provides a nonparamet...
متن کاملBeyond simplified pair-copula constructions
Any multivariate density can be decomposed through successive conditionings into basic building blocks involving only pairs of variables. The various ways in which this can be done are called regular vines; C-vines and D-vines are prime examples of such structures. A pair-copula construction (PCC) is a modelling strategy in which conditional and unconditional bivariate copula densities are assi...
متن کاملPair Copula Constructions for Insurance Experience Rating
In non-life insurance, insurers use experience rating to adjust premiums to reflect policyholders’ previous claim experience. Performing prospective experience rating can be challenging when the claim distribution is complex. For instance, insurance claims are semicontinuous in that a fraction of zeros is often associated with an otherwise positive continuous outcome from a right-skewed and lon...
