Is there significant time-variation in multivariate copulas?

Jakob Stöber, Ulf Schepsmeier

英文摘要：

We demonstrate how the uncertainty of parameter point estimates can be assessed in a maximum likelihood framework in order to prevent overfitting and erroneous detection of time-inhomogeneity. The class of models we consider are regular vine (R-vine) copula models, for which we describe a new algorithm for the exact computation of the score function and observed information. R-vine copulas constitute a flexible class of dependence models which are constructed hierarchically from bivariate copulas as building blocks only, and our algorithm exploits the hierarchical nature for subsequent computation of log-likelihood derivatives. Results obtained using the proposed methods are discussed in the context of the asymptotic efficiency of different estimation methods for R-vine based models. In a substantial application to a dataset of exchange rates, we obtain clear indications for time-inhomogeneous dependence between some currency pairs.

Approximation Multivariate Distribution with pair copula Using the Orthonormal Polynomial and Legendre Multiwavelets basis functions

In this paper, we concentrate on new methodologies for copulas introduced and developed by Joe, Cooke, Bedford, Kurowica, Daneshkhah and others on the new class of graphical models called vines as a way of constructing higher dimensional distributions. We develop the approximation method presented by Bedford et al (2012) at which they show that any $n$-dimensional copula density can be approximated arbitrarily well pointwise using a finite parameter set of 2-dimensional copulas in a vine or pair-copula construction. Our constructive approach involves the use of minimum information copulas that…

A Bayesian Semiparametric Gaussian Copula Approach to a Multivariate Normality Test

In this paper, a Bayesian semiparametric copula approach is used to model the underlying multivariate distribution $F_{true}$. First, the Dirichlet process is constructed on the unknown marginal distributions of $F_{true}$. Then a Gaussian copula model is utilized to capture the dependence structure of $F_{true}$. As a result, a Bayesian multivariate normality test is developed by combining the relative belief ratio and the Energy distance. Several interesting theoretical results of the approach are derived. Finally, through several simulated examples and a real data set, the proposed approach…

A copula-based model for multivariate ordinal panel data: application to well-being composition

A novel copula-based multivariate panel ordinal model is developed to estimate structural relations among components of well-being. Each ordinal time-series is modelled using a copula-based Markov model to relate the marginal distributions of the response at each time of observation and then, at each observation time, the conditional distributions of each ordinal time-series are joined using a multivariate t copula. Maximum simulated likelihood based on evaluating the multidimensional integrals of the likelihood with randomized quasi Monte Carlo methods is used for the estimation. Asymptotic c…

Bayesian inference for a single factor copula stochastic volatility model using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

For modeling multivariate financial time series we propose a single factor copula model together with stochastic volatility margins. This model generalizes single factor models relying on the multivariate normal distribution and allows for symmetric and asymmetric tail dependence. We develop joint Bayesian inference using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) within Gibbs sampling. Thus we avoid information loss caused by the two-step approach for margins and dependence in copula models as followed by Schamberger et al(2017). Further, the Bayesian approach allows for high dimensional parameter spaces …

Efficient estimation of high-dimensional multivariate normal copula models with discrete spatial responses

The distributional transform (DT) is amongst the computational methods used for estimation of high-dimensional multivariate normal copula models with discrete responses. Its advantage is that the likelihood can be derived conveniently under the theory for copula models with continuous margins, but there has not been a clear analysis of the adequacy of this method. We investigate the small-sample and asymptotic efficiency of the method for estimating high-dimensional multivariate normal copula models with univariate Bernoulli, Poisson, and negative binomial margins, and show that the DT approxi…

Introducing higher order correlations to marginals' subset of multivariate data by means of Archimedean copulas

In this paper, we present the algorithm that alters the subset of marginals of multivariate standard distributed data into such modelled by an Archimedean copula. Proposed algorithm leaves a correlation matrix almost unchanged, but introduces a higher order correlation into a subset of marginals. Our data transformation algorithm can be used to analyse whether particular machine learning algorithm, especially a dimensionality reduction one, utilises higher order correlations or not. We present an exemplary application on two features selection algorithms, mention that features selection is one…

Flexible Multivariate Density Estimation with Marginal Adaptation

Our article addresses the problem of flexibly estimating a multivariate density while also attempting to estimate its marginals correctly. We do so by proposing two new estimators that try to capture the best features of mixture of normals and copula estimators while avoiding some of their weaknesses. The first estimator we propose is a mixture of normals copula model that is a flexible alternative to parametric copula models such as the normal and t copula. The second is a marginally adapted mixture of normals estimator that improves on the standard mixture of normals by using information con…

A streaming algorithm for bivariate empirical copulas

Empirical copula functions can be used to model the dependence structure of multivariate data. The Greenwald and Khanna algorithm is adapted in order to provide a space-memory efficient approximation to the empirical copula function of a bivariate stream of data. A succinct space-memory efficient summary of values seen in the stream up to a certain time is maintained and can be queried at any point to return an approximation to the empirical bivariate copula function with guaranteed error bounds. An example then illustrates how these summaries can be used as a tool to compute approximations to…

Approximate Bayesian inference in semiparametric copula models

We describe a simple method for making inference on a functional of a multivariate distribution. The method is based on a copula representation of the multivariate distribution and it is based on the properties of an Approximate Bayesian Monte Carlo algorithm, where the proposed values of the functional of interest are weighed in terms of their empirical likelihood. This method is particularly useful when the "true" likelihood function associated with the working model is too costly to evaluate or when the working model is only partially specified.

Risk aggregation with empirical margins: Latin hypercubes, empirical copulas, and convergence of sum distributions

This paper studies convergence properties of multivariate distributions constructed by endowing empirical margins with a copula. This setting includes Latin Hypercube Sampling with dependence, also known as the Iman--Conover method. The primary question addressed here is the convergence of the component sum, which is relevant to risk aggregation in insurance and finance. This paper shows that a CLT for the aggregated risk distribution is not available, so that the underlying mathematical problem goes beyond classic functional CLTs for empirical copulas. This issue is relevant to Monte-Carlo ba…

A general framework for data-driven uncertainty quantification under complex input dependencies using vine copulas

Systems subject to uncertain inputs produce uncertain responses. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) deals with the estimation of statistics of the system response, given a computational model of the system and a probabilistic model of its inputs. In engineering applications it is common to assume that the inputs are mutually independent or coupled by a Gaussian or elliptical dependence structure (copula). In this paper we overcome such limitations by modelling the dependence structure of multivariate inputs as vine copulas. Vine copulas are models of multivariate dependence built from simpler pai…
