Permutation Tests Based on the Copula-Graphic Estimator and Their Use for Survival Tree Construction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Survival trees are popular alternatives to Cox or Aalen regression models that offer both modeling flexibility and graphical interpretability. This paper introduces a new algorithm for survival trees that relaxes the assumption of independent censoring. To this end, we use the copula‐graphic estimator to estimate survival functions.

Causal Inference for First Non-Fatal Events With the Competing Risk of Death: A Principal Stratification Approach. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In clinical trials involving both mortality and morbidity, an active treatment can influence the observed risk of the first nonfatal event either directly, through its effect on the underlying nonfatal event process, or indirectly, through its effect on the death process, or both.

The copula function is an effective and elegant tool useful for modeling dependence between random variables. Among the many families of this function, one of the most prominent family of copula is the Archimedean family, which has its unique structure and features.

Time Varying Hierarchical Archimedean Copulae [PDF]
There is increasing demand for models of time-varying and non-Gaussian dependencies for multivariate time-series. Available models suffer from the curse of dimensionality or restrictive assumptions on the parameters and the distribution. A promising class of models are the hierarchical Archimedean copulae (HAC) that allow for non-exchangeable and non ...

Local Dependence for Bivariate Weibull Distributions Created by Archimedean Copula
In multivariate survival analysis, estimating the multivariate distribution functions and then measuring the association between survival times are of great interest.

Generative Archimedean Copulas
We propose a new generative modeling technique for learning multidimensional cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) in the form of copulas. Specifically, we consider certain classes of copulas known as Archimedean and hierarchical Archimedean copulas, popular for their parsimonious representation and ability to model different tail dependencies.

The Copula Derived from the SAHARA Utility Function
A new Archimedean copula family is presented that was derived from the SAHARA utility function introduced in the economic literature in 2011. Its properties are discussed, and its flexibility and versatility are demonstrated.

Properties of hierarchical Archimedean copulas [PDF]
Abstract In this paper we analyse the properties of hierarchical Archimedean copulas. This class is a generalisation of the Archimedean copulas and allows for general non-exchangeable dependency structures. We show that the structure of the copula can be uniquely recovered from all bivariate margins.
