Matrix rank and inertia formulas in the analysis of general linear models

Yongge Tian (2017)

Open Mathematics

Matrix mathematics provides a powerful tool set for addressing statistical problems, in particular, the theory of matrix ranks and inertias has been developed as effective methodology of simplifying various complicated matrix expressions, and establishing equalities and inequalities occurred in statistical analysis. This paper describes how to establish exact formulas for calculating ranks and inertias of covariances of predictors and estimators of parameter spaces in general linear models (GLMs),...

Minimum mean square error estimation

Gejza Wimmer (1979)

Aplikace matematiky

In many cases we can consider the regression parameters as realizations of a random variable. In these situations the minimum mean square error estimator seems to be useful and important. The explicit form of this estimator is given in the case that both the covariance matrices of the random parameters and those of the error vector are singular.

Model selection for estimating the non zero components of a Gaussian vector

Sylvie Huet (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We propose a method based on a penalised likelihood criterion, for estimating the number on non-zero components of the mean of a Gaussian vector. Following the work of Birgé and Massart in Gaussian model selection, we choose the penalty function such that the resulting estimator minimises the Kullback risk.

Multivariate Extreme Value Theory - A Tutorial with Applications to Hydrology and Meteorology

Anne Dutfoy, Sylvie Parey, Nicolas Roche (2014)

Dependence Modeling

In this paper, we provide a tutorial on multivariate extreme value methods which allows to estimate the risk associated with rare events occurring jointly. We draw particular attention to issues related to extremal dependence and we insist on the asymptotic independence feature. We apply the multivariate extreme value theory on two data sets related to hydrology and meteorology: first, the joint flooding of two rivers, which puts at risk the facilities lying downstream the confluence; then the joint...

Multivariate models with constraints confidence regions

Lubomír Kubáček (2008)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In multivariate linear statistical models with normally distributed observation matrix a structure of a covariance matrix plays an important role when confidence regions must be determined. In the paper it is assumed that the covariance matrix is a linear combination of known symmetric and positive semidefinite matrices and unknown parameters (variance components) which are unbiasedly estimable. Then insensitivity regions are found for them which enables us to decide whether plug-in approach can...

Multivariate probability integral transformation: application to maximum likelihood estimation.

Abderrahmane Chakak, Layachi Imlahi (2001)

RACSAM

Sea (X1, X2) un vector aleatorio con una función de distribución F. La transformación integral de la probabilidad (pit) es la variable aleatoria unidimensional P2 = F(X1, X2). La expresion de su función de distribución, y un algoritmo de simulación en términos de la función cuantil, dada por Chakak et al [2000], cuando la distribución es absolumente continua, son extendidas a distribuciones que pueden tener singularidades. La estimación de máxima verosimilitud del parámetro de dependencia basada...

Multivariate statistical models; solvability of basic problems

Lubomír Kubáček (2010)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Multivariate models frequently used in many branches of science have relatively large number of different structures. Sometimes the regularity condition which enable us to solve statistical problems are not satisfied and it is reasonable to recognize it in advance. In the paper the model without constraints on parameters is analyzed only, since the greatness of the class of such problems in general is out of the size of the paper.

New copulas based on general partitions-of-unity and their applications to risk management

Dietmar Pfeifer, Hervé Awoumlac Tsatedem, Andreas Mändle, Côme Girschig (2016)

Dependence Modeling

We construct new multivariate copulas on the basis of a generalized infinite partition-of-unity approach. This approach allows, in contrast to finite partition-of-unity copulas, for tail-dependence as well as for asymmetry. A possibility of fitting such copulas to real data from quantitative risk management is also pointed out.
