Directional Dependence in Multivariate Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
As Kumar Jogdeo notes in his 1982 article “Concepts of dependence” in the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences, “Dependence relations between random variables is one of the most studied subjects in probability and statistics. The nature of the dependence can take a variety of forms, and unless some specific assumptions are made about the dependence, no meaningful statistical model can be contemplated.”

Hessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications
In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...
متن کاملOn describing multivariate skewed distribu- tions: A directional approach
Most multivariate measures of skewness in the literature measure the overall skewness of a distribution. These measures were designed for testing the hypothesis of distributional symmetry and their relevance for describing skewed distributions is less obvious. In this article, we consider the problem of characterising the skewness of multivariate distributions. We define directional skewness as...
متن کاملTail Dependence for Heavy-Tailed Scale Mixtures of Multivariate Distributions
The tail dependence of multivariate distributions is frequently studied via the tool of copulas. This paper develops a general method, which is based on multivariate regular variation, to evaluate the tail dependence of heavy-tailed scale mixtures of multivariate distributions, whose copulas are not explicitly accessible. Tractable formulas for tail dependence parameters are derived, and a suff...
متن کاملTail Dependence of Multivariate Pareto Distributions
Various multivariate Pareto distributions are known to exhibit the heavy tail behaviors. This paper examines the tail dependence properties of a general class of multivariate Pareto distributions with the Pareto index and some common scale parameters. The multivariate tail dependence describes the amount of dependence in the upper-orthant tail or lower-orthant tail of a multivariate distributio...
متن کاملExtremal Dependence of Multivariate Distributions and Its Applications
ii I certify that I have read this dissertation and certify that in my opinion it is fully adequate, in scope and in quality, as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Stochastic dependence arises in many fields including electrical grid reliability, net-work/internet traffic analysis, environmental and agricultural impact assessment, and financial risk management. Models in the...
