A method to obtain new copulas from a given one 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Given a strictly increasing continuous function φ from [0, 1] to [0, 1] and its pseudo-inverse φ[−1], conditions that φ must satisfy for Cφ(x1, . . . ,xn)=φ[−1](C(φ(x1), . . . ,φ(xn))) to be a copula for any copula C are studied. Some basic properties of the copulas obtained in this way are analyzed and
several examples of generator functions φ that can be used to construct copulas Cφ are presented. In this manner, a method to obtain from a given copula C a variety of new copulas is provided. This method
generalizes that used to construct Archimedean copulas in which the original copula C is the product copula, and it is related
with mixtures 相似文献

Summary Suppose that a real numbery
u is associated with each unitu of a populationU and that the functiony:u →y
u onU is known to be an element of the parameter space Θ. The statistician has to select a samples ⊂U ofn units and to employy
u;u ∈s to estimate the arithmetic mean of ally
u,u ∈U.
The performance of such a strategy is assessed by its mean square error or, more simply, by the supremum of the mean square
error. This supremum cannot be determined exactly for the parameter space of Scott/Smith (1975). We propose, therefore, an
asymptotic approximation; this approximation is based on the assumption, that the sample sizen is fixed and that linear estimators have to be used. 相似文献

Let ζ
t
be the number of events which will be observed in the time interval [0;t] and define
as the average number of events per time unit if this limit exists. In the case of i.i.d. waiting-times between the events,E[ζ
t
] is the renewal function and it follows from well-known results of renewal theory thatA exists and is equal to 1/τ, if τ>0 is the expectation of the waiting-times.
This holds true also when τ = ∞.A may be estimate by ζ
t

n
. Both estimators converage with probability 1 to 1/τ if theX
i are i.i.d.; but the expectation of
may be infinite for alln and also if it is finite,
is in general a positively biased estimator ofA. For a stationary renewal process, ζ
t
/t is unbiased for eacht; if theX
i
are i.i.d. with densityf(x), then ζ
t
/t has this property only iff(x) is of the exponential type and only for this type the numbers of events in consecutive time intervals [0,t], [t, 2t], ... are i.i.d. random variables for arbitraryt > 0. 相似文献

The center of a univariate data set {x
1,…,x
n} can be defined as the point μ that minimizes the norm of the vector of distances y′=(|x
1−μ|,…,|x
n−μ|). As the median and the mean are the minimizers of respectively the L
1- and the L
2-norm of y, they are two alternatives to describe the center of a univariate data set. The center μ of a multivariate data set {x
1,…,x
n} can also be defined as minimizer of the norm of a vector of distances. In multivariate situations however, there are several
kinds of distances. In this note, we consider the vector of L
1-distances y′1=(∥x
1- μ∥1,…,∥x
n- μ∥1) and the vector of L
2-distances y′2=(∥x
1- μ∥2,…,∥x
n-μ∥2). We define the L
1-median and the L
1-mean as the minimizers of respectively the L
1- and the L
2-norm of y
1; and then the L
2-median and the L
2-mean as the minimizers of respectively the L
1- and the L
2-norm of y
2. In doing so, we obtain four alternatives to describe the center of a multivariate data set. While three of them have been
already investigated in the statistical literature, the L
1-mean appears to be a new concept.

Let be an interval order on a topological space (X, τ), and let x ˜* y if and only if [y z x z], and x ˜** y if and only if [z x z y]. Then ˜* and ˜** are complete preorders. In the particular case when is a semiorder, let x ˜0 y if and only if x ˜* y and x ˜** y. Then ˜0 is a complete preorder, too. We present sufficient conditions for the existence of continuous utility functions representing ˜*, ˜** and ˜0, by using the notion of strong separability of a preference relation, which was introduced by Chateauneuf (Journal of Mathematical Economics, 1987, 16, 139–146). Finally, we discuss the existence of a pair of continuous functions u, υ representing a strongly separable interval order on a measurable topological space (X, τ, μ,
). 相似文献

We consider the problem of comparison of one test treatment (τ0) with a set of v control treatments (τ1, τ2, …, τv) using distance optimality [DS-optimality] criterion introduced by Sinha (1970) in some treatment-connected design settings.
It turns out that the nature of DS-optimal designs is quite similar to that for the usual A−, D− and E− optimality criteria. However, the optimality problem is quite complicated in most situations. First we deal with the CRD
model and derive DS-optimal allocations for a given set of treatments. The results are almost identical to the A-optimal allocations
for such problems. Then we consider a block design set-up and examine the nature of DS-optimal designs. In the process, we
introduce the method of weighted coverage probability and maximize the resulting expression to obtain an optimal design.

Some properties of the minimum and the maximum of random variables with joint logconcave distributions 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
It is shown that if (X

n
) is a random vector with a logconcave (logconvex) joint reliability function, then X
P
= min
i∈P
X

has increasing (decreasing) hazard rate. Analogously, it is shown that if (X
1, X
2, . . . , X
n
) has a logconcave (logconvex) joint distribution function, then X
P
= max
i∈P
X
i
has decreasing (increasing) reversed hazard rate. If the random vector is absolutely continuous with a logconcave density
function, then it has a logconcave reliability and distribution functions and hence we obtain a result given by Hu and Li
(Metrika 65:325–330, 2007). It is also shown that if (X
1, X
2, . . . , X
n
) has an exchangeable logconcave density function then both X
P
and X
P
have increasing likelihood ratio. 相似文献

In this paper we consider the case of the scale-contaminated normal (mixture of two normals with equal mean components but
different component variances: (1−p)N(μ,σ2)+pN(μ,τ2) with σ and τ being non-negative and 0≤p≤1). Here is the scale error and p denotes the amount with which this error occurs. It's maximum deviation to the best normal distribution is studied and shown
to be montone increasing with increasing scale error. A closed-form expression is derived for the proportion which maximizes
the maximum deviation of the mixture of normals to the best normal distribution. Implications to power studies of tests for
normality are pointed out.

pmk, a new generalization of C
pmk, for processes with asymmetric tolerances. In this paper, we provide a comparison between C
′′
pmk and other existing generalizations of C
pmk on the accuracy of measuring process performance for processes with asymmetric tolerances. We show that the new generalization
C
′′
pmk is superior to other existing generalizations of C
pmk. Under the assumption of normality, we derive explicit forms of the cumulative distribution function and the probability
density function of the estimated index . We show that the cumulative distribution function and the probability density function of the estimated index can be expressed in terms of a mixture of the chi-square distribution and the normal distribution. The explicit forms of
the cumulative distribution function and the probability density function considerably simplify the complexity for analyzing
the statistical properties of the estimated index .

For the invariant decision problem of estimating a continuous distribution function F with two entropy loss functions, it is proved that the best invariant estimators d
0 exist and are the same as the best invariant estimator of a continuous distribution function under the squared error loss
function L (F, d)=∫|F (t) −d (t) |2
