Asymptotic Properties of the Bernstein Density Copula for Dependent Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copulas are extensively used for dependence modeling. In many cases the data does not reveal how the dependence can be modeled using a particular parametric copula. Nonparametric copulas do not share this problem since they are entirely data based. This paper proposes nonparametric estimation of the density copula for α−mixing data using Bernstein polynomials. We study the asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula, i.e., we provide the exact asymptotic bias and variance, we establish the uniform strong consistency and the asymptotic normality.

Expectation Maximization Algorithms for Estimating Bernstein Copula Density
On the basis of order statistics, Baker (2008) proposed a method for constructing multivariate distributions with fixed marginals. This is another representation of the Bernstein copula. According to the construction of Baker’s distribution, the Bernstein copula can be regarded as a finite mixture distribution. In this paper, we propose expectationmaximization (EM) algorithms to estimate the Be...
متن کاملTesting Independence Based on Bernstein Empirical Copula and Copula Density
In this paper we provide three nonparametric tests of independence between continuous random variables based on Bernstein copula and copula density. The first test is constructed based on functional of Cramér-von Mises of the Bernstein empirical copula. The two other tests are based on Bernstein density copula and use Cramér-von Mises and Kullback-Leiber divergencetype respectively. Furthermore...
متن کاملRegression estimation based on Bernstein density copulas∗
The regression function can be expressed in term of copula density and marginal distributions. In this paper, we propose a new method of estimating a regression function using the Bernstein estimator for the copula density and the empirical distributions for the marginal distributions. The method is fully non-parametric and easy to implement. We provide some asymptotic results related to this c...
متن کاملSpatial Interpolation Using Copula for non-Gaussian Modeling of Rainfall Data
‎One of the most useful tools for handling multivariate distributions of dependent variables in terms of their marginal distribution is a copula function‎. ‎The copula families capture a fair amount of attention due to their applicability and flexibility in describing the non-Gaussian spatial dependent data‎. ‎The particular properties of the spatial copula are rarely ...
متن کاملOn properties of dependent general progressively type-II censored order statistics
In the literature of life-testing, general progressive censoring has been studied extensively. But, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units undertest are independently distributed. In this paper, we study general progressively Type-II censored order statistics arising from identical units under test which are jointly distributed according to an Archimedean co...
