Inference for copula modeling of discrete data: a cautionary tale and some facts
Dependence Modeling, 2017 In this note, we elucidate some of the mathematical, statistical and epistemological issues involved in using copulas to model discrete data. We contrast the possible use of (nonparametric) copula methods versus the problematic use of parametric copula ...

Dependence measure for length-biased survival data using copulas
Dependence Modeling, 2019 The linear correlation coefficient of Bravais-Pearson is considered a powerful indicator when the dependency relationship is linear and the error variate is normally distributed.

Volatility filtering in estimation of kurtosis (and variance)
Dependence Modeling, 2019 The kurtosis of the distribution of financial returns characterized by high volatility persistence and thick tails is notoriously difficult to estimate precisely.

Statistical inference and data analysis of the record-based transmuted Burr X model
Open MathematicsProbability distribution has proven its usefulness in almost every discipline of human endeavors. A novel extension of Bur X distribution is developed in this study employing the record-based transmuted mapping technique, which can be used to fit skewed ...

New copulas based on general partitions-of-unity (part III) — the continuous case
Dependence Modeling, 2019 In this paper we discuss a natural extension of infinite discrete partition-of-unity copulas which were recently introduced in the literature to continuous partition of copulas with possible applications in risk management and other fields.

A matrix approach to determine optimal predictors in a constrained linear mixed model
Open MathematicsFor a general vector of all unknown vectors in a constrained linear mixed model (CLMM), this study compared the dispersion matrices of the best linear unbiased predictors with any symmetric matrix for determining the optimality of predictors among others.

On a class of norms generated by nonnegative integrable distributions
Dependence Modeling, 2019 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-
