Abstract
Abstract We present a list of challenges one faces when given the task of modeling dependence between stochastic objects, with a special focus on financial applications. Our aim is to draw the readers' attention to common (and not so common) pitfalls and fallacies, and we particularly address readers who are new to dependence modeling. The presented list of challenges is clearly not complete, but it gives a flavor of how difficult and subtle the task of dependence modeling can be. Moreover, the readers shall get some intuition about what challenges are structural and cannot be overcome, and what challenges allow for a better solution than common practice might suggest.
期刊介绍:
Statistics & Risk Modeling (STRM) aims at covering modern methods of statistics and probabilistic modeling, and their applications to risk management in finance, insurance and related areas. The journal also welcomes articles related to nonparametric statistical methods and stochastic processes. Papers on innovative applications of statistical modeling and inference in risk management are also encouraged. Topics Statistical analysis for models in finance and insurance Credit-, market- and operational risk models Models for systemic risk Risk management Nonparametric statistical inference Statistical analysis of stochastic processes Stochastics in finance and insurance Decision making under uncertainty.
