چکیده
Copulas and vines allow us to model the distribution of multivariate random variables in a flexible way. This article introduces copulas via Sklar’s theorem, explains how pair copula constructions are built by decomposing multivariate copula densities and illustrates vine graphical representations.

Modeling with Copulas and Vines in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
The aim of this work is studying the use of copulas and vines in numerical optimization with Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). Two EDAs built around the multivariate product and normal copulas, and other two based on pair-copula decomposition of vine models are studied. We analyze empirically the effect of both marginal distributions and dependence structure in order to show that bo...
متن کاملApproximate Uncertainty Modeling in Risk Analysis with Vine Copulas
Many applications of risk analysis require us to jointly model multiple uncertain quantities. Bayesian networks and copulas are two common approaches to modeling joint uncertainties with probability distributions. This article focuses on new methodologies for copulas by developing work of Cooke, Bedford, Kurowica, and others on vines as a way of constructing higher dimensional distributions tha...
متن کاملPair-copula constructions of multivariate copulas
The famous Sklar’s theorem (see [54]) allows to build multivariate distributions using a copula and marginal distributions. For the basic theory on copulas see the first chapter ([14]) or the books on copulas by Joe ([32]) and Nelson ([51]). Much emphasis has been put on the bivariate case and in [32] and [51] many examples of bivariate copula families are given. However the class of multivaria...
متن کاملOfficial Statistics Data Integration Using Copulas
The aim of this paper is to propose a novel approach to integrate financial information, incorporating the dependence structure among the variables. The approach is based on two types of graphical models: vines and non parametric Bayesian belief nets (NPBBNs). Vines are undirected graphs, representing pair copula constructions, which are used to model the dependence structure of a set of variab...
متن کاملFaster estimation of High-Dimensional Vine Copulas with Automatic Differentiation
Vine copula is an important tool in modeling dependence structures of continuousvalued random variables. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for vine copulas has long been considered computationally difficult in higher dimensions, even in 10 or 20 dimensions. Current computational practice, including the implementation in the state-ofthe-art R package VineCopula, suffers from the bottleneck...
