用于资本建模与系统性风险分析的主成分 CopulaAI 解读

We introduce a class of copulas that we call Principal Component Copulas (PCCs). This class combines the strong points of copula-based techniques with principal component analysis (PCA), which results in flexibility when modelling tail dependence along the most important directions in high-dimensional data. We obtain theoretical results for PCCs that are important for practical applications. In particular, we derive tractable expressions for the high-dimensional copula…

用于状态空间模型无似然推断的粒子 Gibbs 方法及随机波动率应用AI 解读

State space models (SSMs) are widely used to describe dynamic systems. However, when the likelihood of the observations is intractable, parameter inference for SSMs cannot be easily carried out using standard Markov chain Monte Carlo or sequential Monte Carlo methods. In this paper, we propose a particle Gibbs sampler as a general strategy to handle SSMs with intractable likelihoods in the approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) setting. The proposed sampler incorporates a…
