  3. 2. Copula modeling for Portfolio Return Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Markus Gustafsson; [2023]

Our approach involves benchmarking some pre-determined fitted copulas to the 0. 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.
