Permutation Tests Based on the Copula-Graphic Estimator and Their Use for Survival Tree Construction. [PDF]

open access: yesStat Med
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.

Neutral Forms of Be as Default Forms: The Utility of Underspecification and Blocking in a Welsh Morphosyntactic Phenomenon

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract In Welsh, in certain tenses, unique forms of the verb for ‘be’ are used in positive clauses. These specialised forms of ‘be’ are incompatible with positive main‐clause declarative complementizers, despite their apparent featural compatibility. For most speakers, they are also blocked from if‐clauses; although, I report on data regarding their ...

From Nominalisation to Passive in Old Tibetan: Reconstructing Grammatical Meaning in an Extinct Language1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the Old Literary Tibetan corpus—a corpus of the oldest documented Tibetic language—the present study provides evidence that literary Tibetan v3 verb stems (commonly termed ‘future’) initially encoded passive voice. New arguments put forward in this article range from Trans‐Himalayan nominal morphology to early Tibetan ...

New Prospects on Vines [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we present a new methodology based on vine copulas to estimate multivariate distributions in high dimensions, taking advantage of the diversity of vine copulas.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

MODELLING RANDOM COUPLES USING COPULAS MODELADO DE PAREJAS ALEATORIAS USANDO CÓPULAS

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Estadística, 2009
Copulas have become a useful tool for the multivariate modelling in both stochastics and statistics. In this article, fundamental properties that allow the characterization of the dependence structure of families of the bivariate distributions defined by

Effect of male age at the time of irradiation on the sexual performance of sterile Ceratitis capitata males: insights from remating female offspring

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an effective strategy for controlling insect pests, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann). The effectiveness of the SIT depends on the ability of the sterile males to mate and their capacity to induce sterility in wild females.

Improved Frechet bounds and model-free pricing of multi-asset options

open access: yes, 2011
Improved bounds on the copula of a bivariate random vector are computed when partial information is available, such as the values of the copula on a given subset of $[0,1]^2$, or the value of a functional of the copula, monotone with respect to the ...

Clustered Archimax copulas

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Statistics
When modeling multivariate phenomena, properly capturing the joint extremal behavior is often one of the many concerns. Archimax copulas appear as successful candidates in case of asymptotic dependence. In this paper, the class of Archimax copulas is extended via their stochastic representation to a clustered construction.
