Sampling nested Archimedean copulas

We give algorithms for sampling from non-exchangeable Archimedean copulas created by the nesting of Archimedean copula generators, where in the most general algorithm the generators may be nested to an arbitrary depth. These algorithms are based on mixture representations of these copulas using Laplace transforms. While in principle the approach applies to all nested Archimedean copulas, in practice the approach is restricted to certain cases where we are able to sample distributions with given Laplace transforms. Precise instructions are given for the case when all generators are taken from the Gumbel parametric family or the Clayton family; the Gumbel case in particular proves very easy to simulate.     

On structure,family and parameter estimation of hierarchical Archimedean copulas

Research on structure determination and parameter estimation of hierarchical Archimedean copulas (HACs) has so far mostly focused on the case in which all appearing Archimedean copulas belong to the same Archimedean family. The present work addresses this issue and proposes a new approach for estimating HACs that involve different Archimedean families. It is based on employing goodness-of-fit test statistics directly into HAC estimation. The approach is summarized in a simple algorithm, its theoretical justification is given and its applicability is illustrated by several experiments, which include estimation of HACs involving up to five different Archimedean families.     

Bayesian bivariate survival analysis using the power variance function copula

Copula models have become increasingly popular for modelling the dependence structure in multivariate survival data. The two-parameter Archimedean family of Power Variance Function (PVF) copulas includes the Clayton, Positive Stable (Gumbel) and Inverse Gaussian copulas as special or limiting cases, thus offers a unified approach to fitting these important copulas. Two-stage frequentist procedures for estimating the marginal distributions and the PVF copula have been suggested by Andersen (Lifetime Data Anal 11:333–350, 2005), Massonnet et al. (J Stat Plann Inference 139(11):3865–3877, 2009) and Prenen et al. (J R Stat Soc Ser B 79(2):483–505, 2017) which first estimate the marginal distributions and conditional on these in a second step to estimate the PVF copula parameters. Here we explore an one-stage Bayesian approach that simultaneously estimates the marginal and the PVF copula parameters. For the marginal distributions, we consider both parametric as well as semiparametric models. We propose a new method to simulate uniform pairs with PVF dependence structure based on conditional sampling for copulas and on numerical approximation to solve a target equation. In a simulation study, small sample properties of the Bayesian estimators are explored. We illustrate the usefulness of the methodology using data on times to appendectomy for adult twins in the Australian NH&MRC Twin registry. Parameters of the marginal distributions and the PVF copula are simultaneously estimated in a parametric as well as a semiparametric approach where the marginal distributions are modelled using Weibull and piecewise exponential distributions, respectively.     

Improving the bandwidth-free inference methods by prewhitening

In this paper we consider inference of parameters in time series regression models. In the traditional inference approach, the heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) estimation is often involved to consistently estimate the asymptotic covariance matrix of regression parameter estimator. Since the bandwidth parameter in the HAC estimation is difficult to choose in practice, there has been a recent surge of interest in developing bandwidth-free inference methods. However, existing simulation studies show that these new methods suffer from severe size distortion in the presence of strong temporal dependence for a medium sample size. To remedy the problem, we propose to apply the prewhitening to the inconsistent long-run variance estimator in these methods to reduce the size distortion. The asymptotic distribution of the prewhitened Wald statistic is obtained and the general effectiveness of prewhitening is shown through simulations.     

Quantile regression based on a weighted approach under semi-competing risks data

In this article, we investigate the quantile regression analysis for semi-competing risks data in which a non-terminal event may be dependently censored by a terminal event. Due to the dependent censoring, the estimation of quantile regression coefficients on the non-terminal event becomes difficult. In order to handle this problem, we assume Archimedean Copula to specify the dependence of the non-terminal event and the terminal event. Portnoy [Censored regression quantiles. J Amer Statist Assoc. 2003;98:1001–1012] considered the quantile regression model under right-censoring data. We extend his approach to construct a weight function, and then impose the weight function to estimate the quantile regression parameter for the non-terminal event under semi-competing risks data. We also prove the consistency and asymptotic properties for the proposed estimator. According to the simulation studies, the performance of our proposed method is good. We also apply our suggested approach to analyse a real data.     

SOME RESULTS ON TRUNCATION DEPENDENCE INVARIANT CLASS OF COPULAS

ABSTRACT

In this paper, m-dimensional distribution functions with truncation invariant dependence structure are studied. Some of the properties of generalized Archimedean class of copulas under this dependence structure are presented including some results on the conditions of compatibility. It has been shown that Archimedean copula generalized as it is described by Jouini and Clemen[1] Jouini, M.N. and Clemen, R.T. 1996. Copula Models for Aggregating Expert Opinions. Operations Research, 44(3): 444–457.  [Google Scholar] which has the truncation invariant dependence structure has to have the form of independence or Cook-Johnson copula. We also consider a multi-parameter class of copulas derived from one-parameter Archimedean copulas. It has been shown that this class has a probabilistic meaning as a connecting copula of the truncated random pair with a right truncation region on the third variable. Multi-parameter copulas generated in this paper stays in the Archimedean class. We provide formulas to compute Kendall's tau and explore the dependence behavior of this multi-parameter class through examples.     

Some ordering properties of series and parallel systems with dependent component lifetimes

Abstract

In this paper, we consider series systems and parallel systems with the dependence between the component lifetimes modelled by an Archimedean copulas. We obtain sufficient and necessary conditions of relative ageing orders between series (parallel) systems with different component numbers, which partially generalize some main results of Misra and Francis. When the component lifetimes follow the scale model, we also characterize the ordering properties between the series systems and (n–1)-out-of-n systems (parallel systems and 2-out-of-n systems) by mixture distribution.     

Hazard Rate Properties of Systems with Two Components

In this article, we study the hazard rate ordering of lifetimes of two-component systems (series and parallel) by considering some bivariate distributions for the joint distribution of component lifetimes. Such that, we aim to investigate the lifetimes of systems with stochastically dependent and with stochastically independent components, the lifetimes of the components, and a stochastic ordering relation between these lifetimes. In addition to these, the mononotonicity of the hazard rates of the parallel and the series systems for the bivariate Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (FGM) family is studied.     

A comparative review of generalizations of the Gumbel extreme value distribution with an application to wind speed data

ABSTRACT

The generalized extreme value distribution and its particular case, the Gumbel extreme value distribution, are widely applied for extreme value analysis. The Gumbel distribution has certain drawbacks because it is a non-heavy-tailed distribution and is characterized by constant skewness and kurtosis. The generalized extreme value distribution is frequently used in this context because it encompasses the three possible limiting distributions for a normalized maximum of infinite samples of independent and identically distributed observations. However, the generalized extreme value distribution might not be a suitable model when each observed maximum does not come from a large number of observations. Hence, other forms of generalizations of the Gumbel distribution might be preferable. Our goal is to collect in the present literature the distributions that contain the Gumbel distribution embedded in them and to identify those that have flexible skewness and kurtosis, are heavy-tailed and could be competitive with the generalized extreme value distribution. The generalizations of the Gumbel distribution are described and compared using an application to a wind speed data set and Monte Carlo simulations. We show that some distributions suffer from overparameterization and coincide with other generalized Gumbel distributions with a smaller number of parameters, that is, are non-identifiable. Our study suggests that the generalized extreme value distribution and a mixture of two extreme value distributions should be considered in practical applications.
