Implementing Markovian models for extendible Marshall–Olkin distributions
We derive a novel stochastic representation of exchangeable Marshall–Olkin distributions based on their death-counting processes. We show that these processes are Markov.

On copulas of self-similar Ito processes
We characterize the cumulative distribution functions and copulas of two-dimensional self-similar Ito processes, with randomly correlated Wiener margins, as solutions of certain elliptic partial differential equations.

Generating unfavourable VaR scenarios under Solvency II with patchwork copulas
The central idea of the paper is to present a general simple patchwork construction principle for multivariate copulas that create unfavourable VaR (i.e. Value at Risk) scenarios while maintaining given marginal distributions.

On a general class of gamma based copulas
A large family of copulas with gamma components is examined, and interesting submodels are defined and analyzed. Parameter estimation is demonstrated for some of these submodels. A brief discussion of higher-dimensional versions is included.

Lorenz-generated bivariate Archimedean copulas
A novel generating mechanism for non-strict bivariate Archimedean copulas via the Lorenz curve of a non-negative random variable is proposed. Lorenz curves have been extensively studied in economics and statistics to characterize wealth inequality and ...

On partially Schur-constant models and their associated copulas
Schur-constant vectors are used to model duration phenomena in various areas of economics and statistics. They form a particular class of exchangeable vectors and, as such, rely on a strong property of symmetry.

Dispersive order comparisons on extreme order statistics from homogeneous dependent random vectors
In this paper, we investigate sufficient conditions for preservation property of the dispersive order for the smallest and largest order statistics of homogeneous dependent random vectors.

A topological proof of Sklar’s theorem in arbitrary dimensions
Copulas are appealing tools in multivariate probability theory and statistics. Nevertheless, the transfer of this concept to infinite dimensions entails some nontrivial topological and functional analytic issues, making a deeper theoretical understanding

Stable tail dependence functions – some basic properties
We prove some important properties of the extremal coefficients of a stable tail dependence function (“STDF”) and characterise logistic and some related STDFs.

Generating VaR scenarios with product beta distributions [PDF]
We propose a Monte Carlo simulation method to generate stress tests by VaR scenarios under Solvency II for dependent risks on the basis of observed data.
