That is, we provide sufficient conditions under which the posterior concentrates on neighborhoods of the true parameter values when the data are generated from a finite mixture over the assumed family of component distributions. Specifically, we establish almost sure consistency for the number of components, the mixture weights, and the component parameters, up to a permutation of the component labels. The approach taken here is based on Doob’s theorem, which has the advantage of holding under extraordinarily general conditions, and the disadvantage of only guaranteeing consistency at a set of parameter values that has probability one under the prior. However, we show that in fact, for commonly used choices of prior, this yields consistency at Lebesgue-almost all parameter values, which is satisfactory for most practical purposes. We aim to formulate the results in a way that maximizes clarity, generality, and ease of use.","PeriodicalId":43690,"journal":{"name":"Dependence Modeling","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44930100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they are computationally cumbersome in high dimensions and are not able to capture multivariate skewness in the data. We propose a copula model that allows for arbitrary margins, and multivariate skewness in the data by including a non-Gaussian factor whose dependence structure is the result of a one-factor copula model. Estimation is carried out using a two-step procedure: margins are modelled separately and transformed to the normal scale, after which the dependence structure is estimated. We develop an estimation procedure that allows for fast estimation of the model parameters in a high-dimensional setting. We first prove the theoretical results of the model with up to three Gaussian factors. Then, simulation results confirm that the model works as the sample size and dimensionality grow larger. Finally, we apply the model to a selection of stocks of the S&P500, which demonstrates that our model is able to capture cross-sectional skewness in the stock market data.","PeriodicalId":43690,"journal":{"name":"Dependence Modeling","volume":"10 1","pages":"270 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67145578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the dynamics of open nonlinear systems are largely determined by their chaotic nature, which leads to a violation of stationarity and ergodicity of the series of observations and, as a result, to a catastrophic decrease in the efficiency of forecasting algorithms based on traditional methods of multivariate statistical data analysis. In this article, we make an attempt to reduce the instability influence by employing singular spectrum analysis (SSA) algorithms. This technique has been employed in a wide class of applied data analysis problems formulated in terms of singular decomposition of data matrices: technologies of immunocomputing and SSA.","PeriodicalId":43690,"journal":{"name":"Dependence Modeling","volume":"10 1","pages":"215 - 224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43559671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negative binomial regression models are common in the literature for modeling univariate and multivariate count data. However, two problems commonly arise in modeling such data: choice of the multivariate form of the underlying distribution and modeling the zero-inflated structure of the data. Copula functions have become a popular solution to the former problem because they can model the response variables’ dependence structure. The latter problem is often solved by modeling an assumed latent variable Z Z generating excess zero-valued counts in addition to the underlying distribution. However, despite their flexibility, zero-inflation models do not account for the case of m m additional inflated values at k 1 , k 2 , … , k m {{bf{k}}}_{1},{{bf{k}}}_{2},ldots ,{{bf{k}}}_{m} . We propose a multivariate multiple-inflated negative binomial regression model for modeling such cases. Furthermore, we present an iterative procedure for estimating model parameters using maximum likelihood estimation. The multivariate distribution functions considering the dependence structure of the response vectors are found using copula methods. The proposed method is illustrated using simulated data and applied to real data.","PeriodicalId":43690,"journal":{"name":"Dependence Modeling","volume":"10 1","pages":"290 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49648189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extension of such processes to infinite copula sequences is considered and shown to yield a rich class of models that generalizes Gaussian ARMA and ARFIMA processes to allow both non-Gaussian marginal behaviour and a non-Gaussian description of the serial partial dependence structure. Extensions of classical causal and invertible representations of linear processes to general s-vine processes are proposed and investigated. A practical and parsimonious method for parameterizing s-vine processes using the Kendall partial autocorrelation function is developed. The potential of the resulting models to give improved statistical fits in many applications is indicated with an example using macroeconomic data.","PeriodicalId":43690,"journal":{"name":"Dependence Modeling","volume":"10 1","pages":"87 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45714859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
