Some properties of multivariate measures of concordance
نویسنده
چکیده
We explore the consequences of a set of axioms which extend Scarsini’s axioms for bivariate measures of concordance to the multivariate case and exhibit the following results: (1) A method of extending measures of concordance from the bivariate case to arbitrarily high dimensions. (2) A formula expressing the measure of concordance of the random vectors (±X1, · · · ,±Xn) in terms of the measures of concordance of the “marginal” random vectors (Xi1 , · · · ,Xik). (3) A method of expressing the measure of concordance of an odd-dimensional copula in terms of the measures of concordance of its even-dimensional marginals. (4) A family of relations which exist between the measures of concordance of the marginals of a given copula. 2000Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 60E05 Secondary 62E10, 62H05.

Relationship between multivariate concordance and risk measures
The question about the definition of concordance between random vectors is an open problem because there is not an unanimous opinion about its meaning and its appropriate definition. Also the definition of multivariate risk measures encounters many difficulties. In this paper we want to investigate the relationship between these multivariate measures, essentially based on the relation between r...
متن کاملMultivariate measures of concordance
In 1984 Scarsini introduced a set of axioms for measures of concordance of ordered pairs of continuous random variables. We exhibit an extension of these axioms to ordered n-tuples of continuous random variables, n ≥ 2. We derive simple properties of such measures, give examples, and discuss the relation of the extended axioms to multivariate measures of concordance previously discussed in the ...
متن کاملDependence properties and comparison results for Lévy processes
In this paper we investigate dependence properties and comparison results for multidimensional Lévy processes. In particular we address the questions, whether or not dependence properties and orderings of the copulas of the distributions of a Lévy process can be characterized by corresponding properties of the Lévy copula, a concept which has been introduced recently in Cont and Tankov (2004) a...
متن کاملSome Results on Convexity and Concavity of Multivariate Copulas
This paper provides some results on different types of convexity and concavity in the class of multivariate copulas. We also study their properties and provide several examples to illustrate our results.
