Bayesian Inference for D-vines: Estimation and Model Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the last two decades the advent of fast computers has made Bayesian inference based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods very popular in many fields of science. These Bayesian methods are good alternatives to traditional maximum likelihood (ML) methods since they often can estimate complicated statistical models for which a ML approach fails. In this paper we review available MCMC estimation and model selection algorithms as well as their possible extensions for a D-vine pair copula constructions (PCC) based on bivariate t−copulas. However the discussed methods can easily be extended for an arbitrary regular vine PCC based on any bivariate copulas. A Bayesian inference for Australian electricity loads demonstrates the addressed algorithms at work.

In some applications, the response variable assumes values in the unit interval. The standard linear regression model is not appropriate for modelling this type of data because the normality assumption is not met. Alternatively, the beta regression model has been introduced to analyze such observations. A beta distribution represents a flexible density family on (0, 1) interval that covers symm...

Sklar’s theorem allows the construction of models for dependent components using a multivariate copula together with marginal distributions. For estimation of the copula and marginal parameters, a two step procedure is often used to avoid high dimensional optimization. Here, marginal parameters are estimated first, then used to transform to uniform margins and in a second step, the copula param...
متن کاملA Surface Water Evaporation Estimation Model Using Bayesian Belief Networks with an Application to the Persian Gulf
Evaporation phenomena is a effective climate component on water resources management and has special importance in agriculture. In this paper, Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) as a non-linear modeling technique provide an evaporation estimation method under uncertainty. As a case study, we estimated the surface water evaporation of the Persian Gulf and worked with a dataset of observations ...
