   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Marcus Stolz; Jonathan Christopher; [2024]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo integration; Quasi monte carlo integration; Random number generation; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the effects of pseudo and quasi-random number generators on the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo Integration in the case of the multivariate normal distribution. The study compares the performance of the Mersenne Twister (a pseudo-random number generator) with Sobol and Halton sequences (quasi-random number generators). READ MORE

4. 3. A short bit on copulas and alternative versions of Spearmans rho

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Filip Carlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to understand copula theory and its application in measuring dependence, particularly in the context of the paper "Multivariate conditional versions of Spearman’s rho and related measures of tail dependence" by Schmid and Schmidt. We clarify certain statements and formulas in Schmid and Schmidt's work, explore the potential of the conditional version of Spearman's rho, and demonstrate empirical versions of copulas and Spearman's rho using a bivariate normal distribution.
