Multivariate autoregressive modeling of time series count data using copulas

چکیده
We introduce the Multivariate Autoregressive Conditional Double Poisson model to deal with discreteness, overdispersion and both auto and cross-correlation, arising with multivariate counts. We model counts with a double Poisson and assume that conditionally on past observations the means follow a Vector Autoregression. We resort to copulas to introduce contemporaneous correlation. We apply it to the study of sector and stock-specific news related to the comovements in the number of trades per unit of time of the most important US department stores traded on the NYSE. We show that the market leaders inside a specific sector are related to their size measured by their market capitalization. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: C32; C35; G10

متن کاملModeling linearly and non-linearly dependent simulation input data
Input modeling software tries to fit standard probability distributions to data assuming that the data are independent. However, the input environment can generate correlated data. Ignoring the correlations might lead to serious inaccuracies in the performance measures. In the past few years, several dependence modeling packages with different properties have been developed. In our dissertation...
متن کاملCopula-Based Factor Models for Multivariate Asset Returns
Recently, several copula-based approaches have been proposed for modeling stationary multivariate time series. All of them are based on vine copulas, and they differ in the choice of the regular vine structure. In this article, we consider a copula autoregressive (COPAR) approach to model the dependence of unobserved multivariate factors resulting from two dynamic factor models. However, the pr...
متن کاملTools for dependent simulation input with copulas
Copulas encompass the entire dependence structure of multivariate distributions, and not only the correlations. Together with the marginal distributions of the vector elements, they define a multivariate distribution which can be used to generate random vectors with this distribution. A toolbox is presented which implements input models with this method, for random vectors and time series. Time...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
