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 ...

Properties of Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas [PDF]
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

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.

Structured Expert Elicitation of Dependence Between River Tributaries Using Nonparametric Bayesian Networks. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In absence of sufficient data, structured expert judgment is a suitable method to estimate uncertain quantities. While such methods are well established for individual variables, eliciting their dependence in a structured manner is a less explored field of research.

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 ...

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.

Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas for MATLAB and Octave: The HACopula Toolbox
To extend the current implementation of copulas in MATLAB to non-elliptical distributions in arbitrary dimensions enabling for asymmetries in the tails, the toolbox HACopula provides functionality for modeling with hierarchical (or nested) Archimedean ...

Types of dependence and time-dependent association between two lifetimes in single parameter copula models [PDF]
Most publications on modeling insurance contracts on two lives, assuming dependence of the two lifetimes involved, focus on the time of inception of the contract.
