Copula Density Estimation by Total Variation Penalized Likelihood
A copula density is the joint probability density function (PDF) of a random vector with uniform marginals. An approach to bivariate copula density estimation is introduced that is based on a maximum penalized likelihood estimation (MPLE) with a total variation (TV) penalty term. The marginal unity and symmetry constraints for copula density are enforced by linear equality constraints. The TV-M...
متن کاملCopula-based Density Weighting Functions
In this paper, we propose a method how to construct density weighting functions from Copulas. The notion of Copula was introduced by A. Sklar in 1959. A Copula is a dependence function to construct a bivariate distribution function that links joint distributions to their marginals. Other forms of dependence function, based on density weighing functions, have also been developed. The proposed me...
متن کاملTesting Independence Based on Bernstein Empirical Copula and Copula Density
In this paper we provide three nonparametric tests of independence between continuous random variables based on Bernstein copula and copula density. The first test is constructed based on functional of Cramér-von Mises of the Bernstein empirical copula. The two other tests are based on Bernstein density copula and use Cramér-von Mises and Kullback-Leiber divergencetype respectively. Furthermore...
متن کاملEfficient maximum likelihood estimation of copula based meta t-distributions
Recently an efficient fixed point algorithm for finding maximum likelihood estimates has found its application in models based on Gaussian copulas. It requires a decomposition of a likelihood function into two parts and their iterative maximization. Therefore, this algorithm is called maximization by parts (MBP). For copula-based models, the algorithm MBP improves the efficiency of a two-step e...
متن کاملApproximating the marginal likelihood using copula
Model selection is an important activity in modern data analysis and the conventional Bayesian approach to this problem involves calculation of marginal likelihoods for different models, together with diagnostics which examine specific aspects of model fit. Calculating the marginal likelihood is a difficult computational problem. Our article proposes some extensions of the Laplace approximation...
