Local Dependence in Bivariate Copulae with Beta Marginals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The local dependence function (LDF) describes changes in the correlation structure of continuous bivariate random variables along their range. Bivariate density functions with Beta marginals can be used to model jointly a wide variety of data with bounded outcomes in the (0,1) range, e.g. proportions. In this paper we obtain expressions for the LDF of bivariate densities constructed using three di erent copula models (Frank, Gumbel and Joe) with Beta marginal distributions, present examples for each, and discuss an application of these models to analyse data collected in a study of marks obtained on a statistics exam by postgraduate students.

On the Recovery of the Most Entropic Copulas from Prior Knowledge of Dependence
Although the use of nonparametric or parametric methods to construct a probability distribution from an actual data has become widespread in economics, procedure based on the entropy principle of Shannon (1948), and popularized by (Jaynes, 1957) provides a promising alternative as a method to recover a probability density that yields the highest level of uncertainty (i.e., randomness) from limi...
متن کاملCopulae on products of compact Riemannian manifolds
One standard way of considering a probability distribution on the unit ncube, [0, 1], due to Sklar (1959) [A. Sklar, Fonctions de répartition à n dimensions et leur marges, Publ. Inst. Statist. Univ. Paris 8 (1959) 229231], is to decompose it into its marginal distributions and a copula, i.e. a probability distribution on [0, 1] with uniform marginals. The definition of copula was extended by J...

This paper studies the four types: lower, upper, lower-upper and upper-lower focusing on developping theory to measure the negative tail dependence Introduction As a consequence of globalization and relaxed regulations on financial and insurance markets the dependencies between financial time series have increased during recent times. Particularly in extreme events such as economic crisis, thes...
متن کاملNon-linear Integral Equations to Approximate Bivariate Densities with given Marginals and Dependence Function
The local dependence function, introduced by Holland and Wang (1987) and studied by Wang (1993) as a continuous version of the local cross-ratio, describes the local relation between two random variables. Three explicit numerical algorithms are proposed to approximate bivariate densities given the marginal densities and the local dependence function. This approach is suited for simulation purpo...
متن کاملConstructing bivariate density forecasts of inflation and output growth using copulae: modelling dependence using the Survey of Professional Forecasters
Traditionally density forecasts of inflation and output growth are published separately without any obvious indication of how they are related. But ‘flexible’ inflation targeting motivates concern with the underlying bivariate density forecast. This paper, therefore, suggests use of copulae to model the dependence between known marginal density forecasts. Estimated copula functions are used to ...
