A New Look on Discrete Quasi-copulas
In this paper discrete quasi-copulas (defined on a square grid I n of [0,1]) are studied and it is proved that they can be represented by means of a special class of matrices with entries in [-1,1]. Special considerations are made for the case of irreducible discrete quasi-copulas (those with range In) defined on the finite chain In, showing that they can be represented through Alternating-Sign...
متن کاملSymmetries of random discrete copulas
In this paper we analyze some properties of the discrete copulas in terms of permutations. We observe the connection between discrete copulas and the empirical copulas, and then we analyze a statistic that indicates when the discrete copula is symmetric and obtain its main statistical properties under independence. The results obtained are useful in designing a nonparametric test for symmetry o...
متن کاملDiscrete Pathophysiology is Uncommon in Patients with Nonspecific Arm Pain
Background: Nonspecific symptoms are common in all areas of medicine. Patients and caregivers can be frustrated when an illness cannot be reduced to a discrete pathophysiological process that corresponds with the symptoms. We therefore asked the following questions: 1) Which demographic factors and psychological comorbidities are associated with change from an initial diagnosis of nonspecific...
متن کاملRanking of non-linear qualitative decision preferences using copulas
In this paper we address the problem of option ranking in qualitative evaluation models. Current approaches make the assumptions that when qualitative data are suitably mapped into discrete quantitative data, they form monotone or closely linear tabular value functions. Although the power of using monotone and linear functions to model decision maker’s preferences is impressive, there are many...
متن کاملA Note on Identification of Bivariate Copulas for Discrete Count Data
Copulas have enjoyed increased usage in many areas of econometrics, including applications with discrete outcomes. However, Genest and Nešlehová (2007) present evidence that copulas for discrete outcomes are not identified, particularly when those discrete outcomes follow count distributions. This paper confirms the Genest and Nešlehová result using a series of simulation exercises. The paper t...
