Strong Approximation of Copulas
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce strong convergence in regard to approximation of copulas. This new type of convergence is useful in dealing with the-product of Darsow, Nguyen, and Olsen for copulas. We also provide tools for constructing strong approximations of copulas by using partitions of unity.

On Approximation of Copulas
New sufficient conditions for strong approximation of copulas, generated by sequences of partitions of unity, are given. Results are applied to the checkerboard and Bernstein approximations.
متن کاملCopulas as aggregation operators
This paper give some motivations for introducing copulas and presents some recent results on them. There is presented an application of copulas in the theory of aggregation operators. Transformations of copulas by means of increasing bijections on the unit interval and attractors of copulas are discussed. There is presented a result on an approximation of associative copulas by strict and nilpo...
متن کاملApproximation of bivariate copulas by patched bivariate Fréchet copulas
Bivariate Fréchet (BF) copulas characterize dependence as a mixture of three simple structures: comonotonicity, independence and countermonotonicity. They are easily interpretable but have limitations when used as approximations to general dependence structures. To improve the approximation property of the BF copulas and keep the advantage of easy interpretation, we develop a new copula approxi...
متن کاملSome Results on Weak and Strong Tail Dependence Coefficients for Means of Copulas
Copulas represent the dependence structure of multivariate distributions in a natural way. In order to generate new copulas from given ones, several proposals found its way into statistical literature. One simple approach is to consider convex-combinations (i.e. weighted arithmetic means) of two or more copulas. Similarly, one might consider weighted geometric means. Consider, for instance, the...
متن کاملA flexible and tractable class of one-factor copulas
Copulas are a useful tool to model multivariate distributions. While there exist various families of bivariate copulas, the construction of flexible and yet tractable copulas suitable for high-dimensional applications is much more challenging. This is even more true if one is concerned with the analysis of extreme values. In this paper, we construct a class of one-factor copulas and a family of...
