In this article, copulas associated to multivariate conditional distributions in an Archimedean model are characterized. It is shown that this popular class of dependence structures is closed under the operation of conditioning, but that the associated conditional copula has a different analytical form in general. It is also demonstrated that the extremal copula for conditional Archimedean distributions is no longer the Fréchet upper bound, but rather a member of the Clayton family. Properties of these conditional distributions as well as conditional versions of tail dependence indices are also considered.  相似文献

Tail risk refers to the risk associated with extreme values and is often affected by extremal dependence among multivariate extremes. Multivariate tail risk, as measured by a coherent risk measure of tail conditional expectation, is analyzed for multivariate regularly varying distributions. Asymptotic expressions for tail risk are established in terms of the intensity measure that characterizes multivariate regular variation. Tractable bounds for tail risk are derived in terms of the tail dependence function that describes extremal dependence. Various examples involving Archimedean copulas are presented to illustrate the results and quality of the bounds.  相似文献

We use a recent characterization of the d-dimensional Archimedean copulas as the survival copulas of d-dimensional simplex distributions (McNeil and Nešlehová (2009) [1]) to construct new Archimedean copula families, and to examine the relationship between their dependence properties and the radial parts of the corresponding simplex distributions. In particular, a new formula for Kendall’s tau is derived and a new dependence ordering for non-negative random variables is introduced which generalises the Laplace transform order. We then generalise the Archimedean copulas to obtain Liouville copulas, which are the survival copulas of Liouville distributions and which are non-exchangeable in general. We derive a formula for Kendall’s tau of Liouville copulas in terms of the radial parts of the corresponding Liouville distributions.  相似文献

This work proposes a new copula class that we call the MGB2 copula. The new copula originates from extracting the dependence function of the multivariate GB2 distribution (MGB2) whose marginals follow the univariate generalized beta distribution of the second kind (GB2). The MGB2 copula can capture non-elliptical and asymmetric dependencies among marginal coordinates and provides a simple formulation for multi-dimensional applications. This new class features positive tail dependence in the upper tail and tail independence in the lower tail. Furthermore, it includes some well-known copula classes, such as the Gaussian copula, as special or limiting cases.To illustrate the usefulness of the MGB2 copula, we build a trivariate MGB2 copula model of bodily injury liability closed claims. Extended GB2 distributions are chosen to accommodate the right-skewness and the long-tailedness of the outcome variables. For the regression component, location parameters with continuous predictors are introduced using a nonlinear additive function. For comparison purposes, we also consider the Gumbel and t copulas, alternatives that capture the upper tail dependence. The paper introduces a conditional plot graphical tool for assessing the validation of the MGB2 copula. Quantitative and graphical assessment of the goodness of fit demonstrate the advantages of the MGB2 copula over the other copulas.  相似文献

Construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
In this paper we introduce two methods for the construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas. The first is connected with products of copulas. The second approach generalises the Archimedean copulas. The resulting copulas are asymmetric and may have more than two parameters in contrast to most of the parametric families of copulas described in the literature. We study the properties of the proposed families of copulas such as the dependence of two components (Kendall’s tau, tail dependence), marginal distributions and the generation of random variates.  相似文献

Tail dependence and conditional tail dependence functions describe, respectively, the tail probabilities and conditional tail probabilities of a copula at various relative scales. The properties as well as the interplay of these two functions are established based upon their homogeneous structures. The extremal dependence of a copula, as described by its extreme value copulas, is shown to be completely determined by its tail dependence functions. For a vine copula built from a set of bivariate copulas, its tail dependence function can be expressed recursively by the tail dependence and conditional tail dependence functions of lower-dimensional margins. The effect of tail dependence of bivariate linking copulas on that of a vine copula is also investigated.  相似文献

Orthant tail dependence of multivariate extreme value distributions   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The orthant tail dependence describes the relative deviation of upper- (or lower-) orthant tail probabilities of a random vector from similar orthant tail probabilities of a subset of its components, and can be used in the study of dependence among extreme values. Using the conditional approach, this paper examines the extremal dependence properties of multivariate extreme value distributions and their scale mixtures, and derives the explicit expressions of orthant tail dependence parameters for these distributions. Properties of the tail dependence parameters, including their relations with other extremal dependence measures used in the literature, are discussed. Various examples involving multivariate exponential, multivariate logistic distributions and copulas of Archimedean type are presented to illustrate the results.  相似文献

In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical Archimedean copula construction based on multivariate compound distributions. This new imbrication technique is derived via the construction of a multivariate exponential mixture distribution through compounding. The absence of nesting and marginal conditions, contrarily to the nested Archimedean copulas approach, leads to major advantages, such as a flexible range of possible combinations in the choice of distributions, the existence of explicit formulas for the distribution of the sum, and computational ease in high dimensions. A balance between flexibility and parsimony is targeted. After presenting the construction technique, properties of the proposed copulas are investigated and illustrative examples are given. A detailed comparison with other construction methodologies of hierarchical Archimedean copulas is provided. Risk aggregation under this newly proposed dependence structure is also examined.  相似文献

Using the one-to-one correspondence between copulas and Markov operators on L1([0,1]) and expressing the Markov operators in terms of regular conditional distributions (Markov kernels) allows to define a metric D1 on the space of copulas C that is a metrization of the strong operator topology of the corresponding Markov operators. It is shown that the resulting metric space (C,D1) is complete and separable and that the induced dependence measure ζ1, defined as a scalar times the D1-distance to the product copula Π, has various good properties. In particular the class of copulas that have maximum D1-distance to the product copula is exactly the class of completely dependent copulas, i.e. copulas induced by Lebesgue-measure preserving transformations on [0,1]. Hence, in contrast to the uniform distance d, Π cannot be approximated arbitrarily well by completely dependent copulas with respect to D1. The interrelation between D1 and the so-called ∂-convergence by Mikusinski and Taylor as well as the interrelation between ζ1 and the mutual dependence measure ω by Siburg and Stoimenov is analyzed. ζ1 is calculated for some well-known parametric families of copulas and an application to singular copulas induced by certain Iterated Functions Systems is given.  相似文献

Hidden Markov chains, which are widely used in different data restoration problems, have recently been generalised to pairwise partially Markov chains, in which the hidden chain is no longer necessarily Markovian and the distribution of the observed chain, conditional on the hidden one, is of any form. First, we show the applicability of the models in the Gaussian case, with a particular attention to long range correlation noises. Second, we show that the use of copulas allows one to take into account any other form of marginal distributions of the observed chain, conditionally to the hidden one. We end by extending the latter model to a triplet partially Markov chain case. To cite this article: W. Pieczynski, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 341 (2005).  相似文献

In this paper, we consider “heavy-tailed” data, that is, data where extreme values are likely to occur. Heavy-tailed data have been analyzed using flexible distributions such as the generalized beta of the second kind, the generalized gamma and the Burr. These distributions allow us to handle data with either positive or negative skewness, as well as heavy tails. Moreover, it has been shown that they can also accommodate cross-sectional regression models by allowing functions of explanatory variables to serve as distribution parameters.The objective of this paper is to extend this literature to accommodate longitudinal data, where one observes repeated observations of cross-sectional data. Specifically, we use copulas to model the dependencies over time, and heavy-tailed regression models to represent the marginal distributions. We also introduce model exploration techniques to help us with the initial choice of the copula and a goodness-of-fit test of elliptical copulas for model validation. In a longitudinal data context, we argue that elliptical copulas will be typically preferred to the Archimedean copulas. To illustrate our methods, Wisconsin nursing homes utilization data from 1995 to 2001 are analyzed. These data exhibit long tails and negative skewness and so help us to motivate the need for our new techniques. We find that time and the nursing home facility size as measured through the number of beds and square footage are important predictors of future utilization. Moreover, using our parametric model, we provide not only point predictions but also an entire predictive distribution.  相似文献

We consider spatially homogeneous copulas, i.e. copulas whose corresponding measure is invariant under a special transformations of \([0,1]^2\), and we study their main properties with a view to possible use in stochastic models. Specifically, we express any spatially homogeneous copula in terms of a probability measure on [0, 1) via the Markov kernel representation. Moreover, we prove some symmetry properties and demonstrate how spatially homogeneous copulas can be used in order to construct copulas with surprisingly singular properties. Finally, a generalization of spatially homogeneous copulas to the so-called (mn)-spatially homogeneous copulas is studied and a characterization of this new family of copulas in terms of the Markov \(*\)-product is established.

In this paper, we consider the dispersive order and the excess wealth order to compare the variability of distorted distributions. We know from Sordo (2009a) that the excess wealth order can be characterized in terms of a class of variability measures associated to the tail conditional distribution which includes, as a particular measure, the tail variance. Given that the tail conditional distribution is a particular distorted distribution, a natural question is whether this result can be extended to include other classes of variability measures associated to general distorted distributions. As we show in this paper, the answer is yes, by focusing on distorted distributions associated to concave distortion functions. For distorted distributions associated to more general distortions, the characterizations are stated in terms of the stronger dispersive order.  相似文献

For continuous random variables, many dependence concepts and measures of association can be expressed in terms of the corresponding copula only and are thus independent of the marginal distributions. This interrelationship generally fails as soon as there are discontinuities in the marginal distribution functions. In this paper, we consider an alternative transformation of an arbitrary random variable to a uniformly distributed one. Using this technique, the class of all possible copulas in the general case is investigated. In particular, we show that one of its members—the standard extension copula introduced by Schweizer and Sklar—captures the dependence structures in an analogous way the unique copula does in the continuous case. Furthermore, we consider measures of concordance between arbitrary random variables and obtain generalizations of Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho that correspond to the sample version of these quantities for empirical distributions.  相似文献

This paper considers joint distributions of order statistics for risk variables and their concomitants for actuarial risk analysis under dependence. With this purpose, bivariate integral transformations are performed and some examples are presented using copulas, the FGM copulas in particular. Quantiles of the distributions concerned are discussed and their tolerance intervals are constructed. Risk measures such as VaR in the set up of the tolerance intervals are included in the discussions.  相似文献

We propose a method for defining and measuring spatial contagion between two financial markets via conditional copulas. Some theoretical results on monotonicity and asymptotic properties of Gaussian copulas with respect to conditioning are presented. Next, we combine the spatial contagion approach with time series models. We investigate which model from a large family of multivariate GARCH is the best tool for modelling spatial contagion. In an empirical study, we show that among models designed for general fit, a two‐step model fitting procedure reduces the ability to describe the contagion effect. This is a feature of copula‐GARCH models. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

We state a multidimensional Functional Central Limit Theorem for weakly dependent random vectors. We apply this result to copulas. We get the weak convergence of the empirical copula process and of its smoothed version. The finite dimensional convergence of smoothed copula densities is also proved. A new definition and the theoretical analysis of conditional copulas and their empirical counterparts are provided.   相似文献

In this paper we study the dependence properties of a family of bivariate distributions (that we call Archimedean-based Marshall-Olkin distributions) that extends the class of the Generalized Marshall-Olkin distributions of Li and Pellerey, J Multivar Anal, 102, (10), 1399–1409, 2011 in order to allow for an Archimedean type of dependence among the underlying shocks’ arrival times. The associated family of copulas (that we call Archimedean-based Marshall-Olkin copulas) includes several well known copula functions as specific cases for which we provide a different costruction and represents a particular case of implementation of Morillas, Metrika, 61, (2), 169–184, 2005 construction. It is shown that Archimedean-based copulas are obtained through suitable transformations of bivariate Archimedean copulas: this induces asymmetry, and the corresponding Kendall’s function and Kendall’s tau as well as the tail dependence parameters are studied. The type of dependence so modeled is wide and illustrated through examples and the validity of the weak Lack of memory property (characterizing the Marshall-Olkin distribution) is also investigated and the sub-family of distributions satisfying it identified. Moreover, the main theoretical results are extended to the multidimensional version of the considered distributions and estimation issues discussed.  相似文献
