A new class of copulas with tail dependence and a generalized tail dependence estimator [PDF]

open access: yes
We present a new family of copulas (generalized mean copulas) which is positive comprehensive and allows for upper tail dependence. It includes the Spearman copula and a specific Fréchet copula as special cases.

Why Are FGM Copulas Successful? A Simple Explanation

open access: yesAdvances in Fuzzy Systems, 2018
One of the most computationally convenient nonredundant ways to describe the dependence between two variables is by describing the corresponding copula.

Convex Lineability in Copula and Quasi-copula Sets

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Mathematics
Abstract In this paper, we investigate several subsets of n-copulas and n-quasi-copulas from the perspective of convex-lineability and the recently introduced concept of convex-spaceability. Our purpose is to determine when such families contain extremely large algebraic structures, namely linearly independent sets of

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Copulas and bivariate risk measures : an application to hedge funds [PDF]

open access: yes
With hedge funds, managers develop risk management models that mainly aim to play on the effect of decorrelation. In order to achieve this goal , companies use the correlation coefficient as an indicator for measuring dependencies existing between (i ...

Alleviating small sample problem in continuous forest monitoring with remote sensing-assisted Copulas

open access: yesEcological Indicators
With model-assisted (MA) estimation, remote sensing (RS) has provided auxiliary modeling data to enhance precision in estimators of forest parameters for continuous forest monitoring as mandated by various official reporting instruments.

Discrete imprecise copulas

open access: yesFuzzy Sets and Systems
In this paper, we study discrete quasi-copulas associated with imprecise copulas. We focus on discrete imprecise copulas that are in correspondence with the Alternating Sign Matrices and provide some construction techniques of dual pairs. Additionally, we show how to obtain (full-domain) self-dual imprecise copulas through patchwork techniques.

Empirical Evidence of Firm States of Corporate Social Responsibility and Irresponsibility: Transition Frequencies and State Drivers

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A common assumption is that firms become more socially responsible over time. Indeed, numerous conceptual papers focus on the issue of describing the CSR states that firms advance through. Yet, related empirical research remains limited and the assumption of steady progression across CSR states remains untested.

Copulas and Dependence models in Credit Risk: Diffusions versus Jumps [PDF]

open access: yes
The most common approach for default dependence modelling is at present copula functions. Within this framework, the paper examines factor copulas, which are the industry standard, together with their latest development, namely the incorporation of ...

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
