A Proxy-likelihood Estimator for Multivariate Extremes Models with Intractable Likelihoods
难处理似然的多变量极值模型代理似然估计
Many multivariate extremes models have intractable likelihoods requiring practitioners to use alternative fitting methods. The tail pairwise dependence is a summary measure of the dependence in the tail of any multivariate regular variation model. We develop an objective function for model fitting that relies on the tail pairwise dependence as the link between our desired model (that does not have a likelihood) and a proxy model (that has a likelihood). We employ the…
