Multivariate Extensions of Spearman’s Rho and Related Statistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multivariate measures of association are considered which, in the bivariate case, coincide with the population version of Spearman’s rho. For these measures, nonparametric estimators are introduced via the empirical copula. Their asymptotic normality is established under rather weak assumptions concerning the copula. The asymptotic variances are explicitly calculated for some copulas of simple structure. For general copulas, a nonparametric bootstrap is established.

On asymptotic efficiency of multivariate version of Spearman’s rho
A multivariate version of Spearman’s rho for testing independence is considered. Its asymptotic efficiency is calculated under a general distribution model specified by the dependence function. The efficiency comparison study that involves other multivariate Spearmantype test statistics is made. Conditions for Pitman optimality of the test are established. Examples that illustrate the quality o...
متن کاملMultivariate Spearman’s rho for rank aggregation
We study the problem of rank aggregation: given a set of ranked lists, we want to form a consensus ranking. Our main contribution is the derivation of a nonparametric estimator for rank aggregation based on multivariate extensions of Spearman’s ρ, which measures correlation between a set of ranked lists. Multivariate Spearman’s ρ is defined using copulas, and we show that the geometric mean of ...
متن کاملMultivariate Spearman's rho for Aggregating Ranks Using Copulas
We study the problem of rank aggregation: given a set of ranked lists, we want to form a consensus ranking. Furthermore, we consider the case of extreme lists: i.e., only the rank of the best or worst elements are known. We impute missing ranks by the average value and generalise Spearman’s ρ to extreme ranks. Our main contribution is the derivation of a non-parametric estimator for rank aggreg...
متن کاملMultivariate Conditional Versions of Spearman’s Rho and Related Measures of Tail Dependence
A new family of conditional dependence measures based on Spearman’s rho is introduced. The corresponding multidimensional versions are established. Asymptotic distributional results are derived for related estimators which are based on the empirical copula. Particular emphasis is placed on a new type of multidimensional tail-dependence measure and its relationship to other measures of tail depe...
