TLDR
In this article, a class of parametric distributions with given margins and m(m? l)/2 dependence parameters, which is based on iteratively mixing conditional distributions, is derived.Abstract:
A class of ra-variate distributions with given margins and m(m ? l)/2 dependence parameters, which is based on iteratively mixing conditional distributions, is derived. The family of multivariate normal distributions is a special case. The motivation for the class is to get parametric families that have m(m ? l)/2 dependence parameters and properties that the family of multivariate normal distributions does not have. Properties of the class are studied, with details for (i) conditions for bivariate tail dependence and non-trivial limiting multivariate extreme value distributions and (ii) range of dependence for a bivariate measure of association such as Kendall's tau.read more

Pair-copula constructions of multiple dependence
TL;DR: This work uses the pair-copula decomposition of a general multivariate distribution and proposes a method for performing inference, which represents the first step towards the development of an unsupervised algorithm that explores the space of possible pair-Copula models, that also can be applied to huge data sets automatically.

Vines: A new graphical model for dependent random variables
Tim Bedford,Roger M. Cooke +1 more
TL;DR: A new graphical model, called a vine, for dependent random variables, which generalize the Markov trees often used in modelling high-dimensional distributions and is weakened to allow for various forms of conditional dependence.

Probability Density Decomposition for Conditionally Dependent Random Variables Modeled by Vines
Tim Bedford,Roger M. Cooke +1 more
TL;DR: A general formula for the density of a vine dependent distribution is derived, which generalizes the well-known density formula for belief nets based on the decomposition of belief nets into cliques and allows a simple proof of the Information Decomposition Theorem for a regular vine.

Selecting and estimating regular vine copulae and application to financial returns
TL;DR: It is shown how to evaluate the density of arbitrary regular vine specifications, which opens the vine copula methodology to the flexible modeling of complex dependencies even in larger dimensions.

Selecting and estimating regular vine copulae and application to financial returns
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive search strategy is evaluated in a large simulation study and applied to a 16-dimensional financial data set of international equity, fixed income and commodity indices which were observed over the last decade, in particular during the recent financial crisis.

Inequalities for distributions with given marginals
TL;DR: In this paper, an ordering on discrete bivariate distributions formalizing the notion of concordance is defined and shown to be equivalent to stochastic ordering of distribution functions with identical marginals.

Maxima of normal random vectors: between independence and complete dependence
TL;DR: In this paper, the asymptotic dependence structure of bivariate maxima in a triangular array of independent random vectors is analyzed and the analysis of the classical case of i.i.d. random vectors and the known relationship in the Gaussian case is presented.
