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.

Working with shuffles, we establish a close link between Kendall’s τ\tau , the so-called length measure, and the surface area of bivariate copulas and derive some consequences.

Dependence of Stock Returns in Bull and Bear Markets
Despite of its many shortcomings, Pearson’s rho is often used as an association measure for stock returns. A conditional version of Spearman’s rho is suggested as an alternative measure of association. This approach is purely nonparametric and avoids any

Star graphs induce tetrad correlations: for Gaussian as well as for binary variables [PDF]
Tetrad correlations were obtained historically for Gaussian distributions when tasks are designed to measure an ability or attitude so that a single unobserved variable may generate the observed, linearly increasing dependences among the tasks.

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

A nonparametric test for comparing survival functions based on restricted distance correlation
In this article, we propose an omnibus test for comparing two survival functions under non-proportional hazards. The test statistic is based on a product-limit estimate of the restricted distance correlation, which is closely related to the L2{L}_{2 ...

Polynomial bivariate copulas of degree five: characterization and some particular inequalities
Bivariate polynomial copulas of degree 5 (containing the family of Eyraud-Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copulas) are in a one-to-one correspondence to certain real parameter triplets (a, b, c), i.e., to some set of polynomials in two variables of degree 1: p(

Multivariate data analysis: The French way
This paper presents exploratory techniques for multivariate data, many of them well known to French statisticians and ecologists, but few well understood in North American culture.

A Central Limit Theorem for non-overlapping return times
Define the non-overlapping return time of a random process to be the number of blocks that we wait before a particular block reappears. We prove a Central Limit Theorem based on these return times.

Copula Relations in Compound Poisson Processes [PDF]
We investigate in multidimensional compound Poisson processes (CPP) the relation between the dependence structure of the jump distribution and the dependence structure of the respective components of the CPP itself.
