An Easily Engineering-Based Multi-Dimensional Archimedean Copula Construction Method

Abstract

Copula theory and method have been wildly used in the dependence research in many fields. To meet the demand of multi-dimensional copula construction, an easily engineering -based multi-dimensional Archimedean copula construction method has been proposed in this paper. Specific construction procedures, proof and construction examples are given. From these, the method proposed takes the advantages of NEA method and PCC method and could describe the relevancy relationship among the different dependent structures. Besides, it is simple and easy to use in the engineering applications where copula methods are used.
