Copula Gaussian Graphical Models and Their Application to Modeling Functional Disability Data1 by Adrian Dobra

چکیده
We propose a comprehensive Bayesian approach for graphical model determination in observational studies that can accommodate binary, ordinal or continuous variables simultaneously. Our new models are called copula Gaussian graphical models (CGGMs) and embed graphical model selection inside a semiparametric Gaussian copula. The domain of applicability of our methods is very broad and encompasses many studies from social science and economics. We illustrate the use of the copula Gaussian graphical models in the analysis of a 16-dimensional functional disability contingency table.

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 کاملCopula Graphical Models for Wind Resource Estimation
We develop multivariate copulas for modeling multiple joint distributions of wind speeds at a wind farm site and neighboring wind source. A ndimensional Gaussian copula and multiple copula graphical models enhance the quality of the prediction site distribution. The models, in comparison to multiple regression, achieve higher accuracy and lower cost because they require less sensing data.
