Extreme behaviour for bivariate elliptical distributions

چکیده
The authors examine the asymptotic behaviour of conditional threshold exceedance probabilities for an elliptically distributed pair (X,Y ) of random variables. More precisely, they investigate the limiting behaviour of the conditional distribution of Y given that X becomes extreme. They show that this behaviour differs between regularly and rapidly varying tails. Le comportement extrême des lois elliptiques bivariées Résumé : Les auteurs s’intéressent au comportement asymptotique de probabilités conditionnelles de dépassement d’un seuil pour une paire (X,Y ) de variables aléatoires de loi elliptique. Plus précisément, ils étudient le comportement limite de la loi conditionnelle de Y sachant queX devient extrême. Ils montrent que ce comportement diffère suivant que les queues de la loi sont à variations régulières ou rapides.

Kendall ’ S Tau for Elliptical Distributions ∗
By using well known properties of elliptical distributions we show that the relation between Kendall's tau and the linear correlation coefficient for bivariate normal distributions holds more generally (subject to only slight modifications) for the class of elliptical distributions.
متن کاملCredit Risk Modelling and Estimation via Elliptical Copulae
Dependence modelling plays a crucial role within internal credit risk models. The theory of copulae, which describes the dependence structure between a multi-dimensional distribution function and the corresponding marginal distributions, provides useful tools for dependence modelling. The difficulty in employing copulae for internal credit risk models arises from the appropriate choice of a cop...
متن کاملOn the residual dependence index of elliptical distributions
The residual dependence index of bivariate Gaussian distributions is determined by the correlation coefficient. This tail index is of certain statistical importance when extremes and related rare events of bivariate samples with asymptotic independent components are being modeled. In this paper we calculate the partial residual dependence indices of a multivariate elliptical random vector assum...
متن کاملEstimating Tail Dependence of Elliptical Distributions
Recently there has been an increasing interest in applying elliptical distributions to risk management. Under weak conditions, Hult and Lindskog (2002) showed that a random vector with an elliptical distribution is in the domain of attraction of a multivariate extreme value distribution. In this paper we study two estimators for the tail dependence function, which are based on extreme value the...
متن کاملTail Asymptotics under Beta Random Scaling
Abstract: Let X,Y,B be three independent random variables such that X has the same distribution function as Y B. Assume that B is a beta random variable with positive parameters α, β and Y has distribution function H with H(0) = 0. Pakes and Navarro (2007) show under some mild conditions that the distribution function Hα,β of X determines H . Based on that result we derive in this paper a recur...
