No. 2006–29 LOWER TAIL DEPENDENCE FOR ARCHIMEDEAN COPULAS: CHARACTERIZATIONS AND PITFALLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tail dependence copulas provide a natural perspective from which one can study the dependence in the tail of a multivariate distribution. For Archimedean copulas with continuously differentiable generators, regular variation of the generator near the origin is known to be closely connected to convergence of the corresponding lower tail dependence copulas to the Clayton copula. In this paper, these characterizations are refined and extended to the case of generators which are not necessarily continuously differentiable. Moreover, a counterexample is constructed showing that even if the generator of a strict Archimedean copula is continuously differentiable and slowly varying at the origin, then the lower tail dependence copulas do not need to converge to the independent copula. JEL: C14, C16

Emerging technologies often produce unexpected consequences that existing institutions and policies are unable to deal with effectively. Because predicting the consequences of technological change is difficult, responses to emerging technologies tend to be reactive (if not passive), rather than proactive. Improved understanding of the potential consequences of a particular technology would enab...
متن کاملUnderstanding genetic, neurophysiological, and experiential influences on the development of executive functioning: the need for developmental models.
Flexibility is a cornerstone of adaptive behavior and is made possible by a family of processes referred to collectively as executive functions. Executive functions vary in efficacy from individual to individual and also across developmental time. Infants and young children, for example, have difficulty flexibly adapting their behavior, and often repeat actions that are no longer appropriate. A...
متن کاملMaking Sense of Performance Counter Measurements on Supercomputing Applications
The computation nodes of modern supercomputers consist of multiple multicore chips. Many scientific and engineering application codes have been migrated to these systems with little or no optimization for multicore architectures, effectively using only a fraction of the number of cores on each chip or achieving suboptimal performance from the cores they do utilize. Performance optimization on t...

For science learning to be successful, students must develop attitudes toward support future engagement with challenging social issues related to science. This is especially important for increasing participation of students from underrepresented populations. This study investigated how participation in inquiry-based biology laboratory classes affected students' attitudes toward science, focusi...
متن کاملiPSC-derived neurons as a higher-throughput readout for autism: promises and pitfalls.
The elucidation of disease etiologies and establishment of robust, scalable, high-throughput screening assays for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been impeded by both inaccessibility of disease-relevant neuronal tissue and the genetic heterogeneity of the disorder. Neuronal cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from autism patients may circumvent these obstacles and se...
