A copula is the representation of a multivariate distribution. Copulas are used to model multivariate data in many fields. Recent developments include copula models for spatial data and for discrete marginals. We will p ...
In this thesis we develop a theoretical framework for the identification of situations where the equal frequency (EF) or equal variance (EV) subclassification may produce lower bias and/or variance of the estimator. We ...
Graphical models use Markov properties to establish associations among dependent variables. To estimate spatial correlation and other parameters in graphical models, the conditional independences and joint probability di ...
