The Comparison Between Goodness of Fit Tests for Copula
Copula functions as a model can show the relationship between variables. Appropriate copula function for a specific application is a function that shows the dependency between data in a best way. Goodness of fit tests theoretically are the best way in selection of copula function. Different ways of goodness of fit for copula exist. In this paper we will examine the goodness of fit test...
متن کاملAuc-based Tests for Nonparametric Functions with Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal data are very common in biomedical and clinical research, for example, CD4+ cell responses and viral load responses in AIDS clinical research. It is challenging to do inference for the whole trajectory of these longitudinal data if a parametric function is not available to model the trajectories. In this paper we develop an area-under-the-curve (AUC) based nonparametric method to c...
متن کاملOptimal Combinations of Diagnostic Tests Based on AUC.
When several diagnostic tests are available, one can combine them to achieve better diagnostic accuracy. This article considers the optimal linear combination that maximizes the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC); the estimates of the combination's coefficients can be obtained via a nonparametric procedure. However, for estimating the AUC associated with the estimated ...
متن کاملThresholding methods to estimate the copula density
This paper deals with the problem of the multivariate copula density estimation. Using wavelet methods we provide two shrinkage procedures based on thresholding rules for which the knowledge of the regularity of the copula density to be estimated is not necessary. These methods, said to be adaptive, are proved to perform very well when adopting the minimax and the maxiset approaches. Moreover w...
متن کاملTwo-stage estimation using copula function
Maximum likelihood estimation of multivariate distributions needs solving a optimization problem with large dimentions (to the number of unknown parameters) but two- stage estimation divides this problem to several simple optimizations. It saves significant amount of computational time. Two methods are investigated for estimation consistency check. We revisit Sankaran and Nair's bivari...
