Jackknife empirical likelihood method for copulas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copulas are used to depict dependence among several random variables. Both parametric and non-parametric estimation methods have been studied in the literature. Moreover, profile empirical likelihood methods based on either empirical copula estimation or smoothed copula estimation have been proposed to construct confidence intervals of a copula. In this paper, a jackknife empirical likelihood method is proposed to reduce the computation with respect to the existing profile empirical likelihood methods.

Smoothed jackknife empirical likelihood method for tail copulas
In this paper we propose a smoothed jackknife empirical likelihood method to construct confidence intervals for tail copulas or tail dependence functions for bivariate extremes. By applying the standard empirical likelihood method for a mean to the smoothed jackknife sample, the empirical likelihood ratio statistic can be calculated by simply solving a single equation. Therefore, this procedure...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood Inference For The Pietra Ratio
Pietra ratio (Pietra index), also known as Robin Hood index, Schutz coefficient (RicciSchutz index) or half the relative mean deviation, is a good measure of statistical heterogeneity in the context of positive-valued data sets. In this thesis, two novel methods namely “adjusted jackknife empirical likelihood” and “extended jackknife empirical likelihood” are developed from the jackknife empiri...

Kendall and Gehan estimating functions are used to estimate the regression parameter in accelerated failure time (AFT) model with censored observations. The accelerated failure time model is the preferred survival analysis method because it maintains a consistent association between the covariate and the survival time. The jackknife empirical likelihood method is used because it overcomes compu...

In this paper we propose a smoothed jackknife empirical likelihood method to construct confidence intervals for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. By applying the standard empirical likelihood method for a mean to the jackknife sample, the empirical likelihood ratio statistic can be calculated by simply solving a single equation. Therefore, this procedure is easy to implement. W...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood for the Variance in the Linear Regression Model
The variance of a random variable is σ. It is the measure of spread from the center. Therefore, how to accurately estimate variance (σ) has always been an important topic in recent years. In this paper, we consider a linear regression model which is the most popular model in practice. We use jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL) method to obtain the interval estimate of σ in the regression model...
