Fast inference methods for high-dimensional factor copulas
Gaussian factor models allow the statistician to capture multivariate dependence between variables. However, they are computationally cumbersome in high dimensions and are not able to capture multivariate skewness in the data.

A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality beyond the MTP2 case
A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector X=(X1,…,Xd){\boldsymbol{X}}=\left({X}_{1},\ldots ,{X}_{d}) of arbitrary length can be written as a ...

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.

Checkerboard copula defined by sums of random variables
We consider the problem of finding checkerboard copulas for modeling multivariate distributions. A checkerboard copula is a distribution with a corresponding density defined almost everywhere by a step function on an m-uniform subdivision of the unit ...

On a zonal polynomial integral
A certain multiple integral occurring in the studies of Beherens‐Fisher multivariate problem has been evaluated by Mathai et al. (1995) in terms of invariant polynomials. However, this paper explicitly evaluates the context integral in terms of zonal polynomials, thus establishing a relationship between zonal polynomial integrals and invariant ...

Matrix rank and inertia formulas in the analysis of general linear models
Matrix mathematics provides a powerful tool set for addressing statistical problems, in particular, the theory of matrix ranks and inertias has been developed as effective methodology of simplifying various complicated matrix expressions, and ...

New copulas based on general partitions-of-unity and their applications to risk management (part II)
We present a constructive and self-contained approach to data driven infinite partition-of-unity copulas that were recently introduced in the literature.

On a class of norms generated by nonnegative integrable distributions
We show that any distribution function on ℝd with nonnegative, nonzero and integrable marginal distributions can be characterized by a norm on ℝd+1, called F-norm. We characterize the set of F-norms and prove that pointwise convergence of a sequence of F-
