AbstractConsider a random vector $\textbf{U}$ whose distribution function coincides in its upper tail with that of an Archimedean copula. We report the fact that the conditional distribution of $\textbf{U}$ , conditional on one of its components, has under a mild condition on the generator function independent upper tails, no matter what the unconditional tail behavior is. This finding is extended to Archimax copulas.

AbstractIn this paper, a new generator function is proposed and based on this function a new Archimedean copula is introduced. The new Archimedean copula along with three representatives of Archimedean copula family which are Clayton, Gumbel and Frank copulas are considered as models for the dependence structure between the returns of two stocks. These copula models are used to simulate daily log-returns based on Monte Carlo (MC) method for calculating value at risk (VaR) of the financial portfolio which consists of two market indices, Ford and General Motor Company. The results are compared with the traditional MC simulation method with the bivariate normal assumption as a model of the returns. Based on the backtesting results, describing the dependence structure between the returns by the proposed Archimedean copula provides more reliable results over the considered models in calculating VaR of the studied portfolio.

AbstractThis paper deals with the estimation of conditional distribution function based on the single-index model. The asymptotic normality of the conditional distribution estimator is established. Moreover, as an application, the asymptotic (1 − γ) confidence interval of the conditional distribution function is given for 0 < γ < 1.

We study the asymptotic tail behavior of the conditional probability distributions of r t+k and r t+1+⋯+r t+k when (r t ) t∈ℕ is a GARCH(1, 1) process. As an application, we examine the relation between the extreme lower quantiles of these random variables.

AbstractA Markov tree is a random vector indexed by the nodes of a tree whose distribution is determined by the distributions of pairs of neighbouring variables and a list of conditional independence relations. Upon an assumption on the tails of the Markov kernels associated to these pairs, the conditional distribution of the self-normalized random vector when the variable at the root of the tree tends to infinity converges weakly to a random vector of coupled random walks called a tail tree. If, in addition, the conditioning variable has a regularly varying tail, the Markov tree satisfies a form of one-component regular variation. Changing the location of the root, that is, changing the conditioning variable, yields a different tail tree. When the tails of the marginal distributions of the conditioning variables are balanced, these tail trees are connected by a formula that generalizes the time change formula for regularly varying stationary time series. The formula is most easily understood when the various one-component regular variation statements are tied up into a single multi-component statement. The theory of multi-component regular variation is worked out for general random vectors, not necessarily Markov trees, with an eye towards other models, graphical or otherwise.

We consider a probabilistic model of a heterogeneous population P subdivided into homogeneous sub-cohorts. A main assumption is that the frailties give rise to a discrete, exchangeable random vector. We put ourselves in the framework of stochastic filtering to derive the conditional distribution of residual lifetimes of surviving individuals, given an observed history of failures and survivals. As a main feature of our approach, this study is based on the analysis of behaviour of the vector of ‘occupation numbers’.

The main purpose of this work is to study and apply generalized contact distributions of (inhomogeneous) Boolean models Z with values in the extended convex ring. Given a convex body L ⊂ ℝ d and a gauge body B ⊂ ℝ d , such a generalized contact distribution is the conditional distribution of the random vector (d B (L,Z),u B (L,Z),p B (L,Z),l B (L,Z)) given that Z∩L = ∅, where Z is a Boolean model, d B (L,Z) is the distance of L from Z with respect to B, p B (L,Z) is the boundary point in L realizing this distance (if it exists uniquely), u B (L,Z) is the corresponding boundary point of B (if it exists uniquely) and l B (L,·) may be taken from a large class of locally defined functionals. In particular, we pursue the question of the extent to which the spatial density and the grain distribution underlying an inhomogeneous Boolean model Z are determined by the generalized contact distributions of Z.
