Abstract
Abstract This paper proposes a Bayesian estimation algorithm to estimate Generalized Partition of Unity Copulas (GPUC), a class of nonparametric copulas recently introduced by [18]. The first approach is a random walk Metropolis-Hastings (RW-MH) algorithm, the second one is a random blocking random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm (RBRW-MH). Both approaches are Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and can cope with ˛at priors. We carry out simulation studies to determine and compare the efficiency of the algorithms. We present an empirical illustration where GPUCs are used to nonparametrically describe the dependence of exchange rate changes of the crypto-currencies Bitcoin and Ethereum.
期刊介绍：
The journal Dependence Modeling aims at providing a medium for exchanging results and ideas in the area of multivariate dependence modeling. It is an open access fully peer-reviewed journal providing the readers with free, instant, and permanent access to all content worldwide. Dependence Modeling is listed by Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index), Scopus, MathSciNet and Zentralblatt Math. The journal presents different types of articles: -"Research Articles" on fundamental theoretical aspects, as well as on significant applications in science, engineering, economics, finance, insurance and other fields. -"Review Articles" which present the existing literature on the specific topic from new perspectives. -"Interview articles" limited to two papers per year, covering interviews with milestone personalities in the field of Dependence Modeling. The journal topics include (but are not limited to): -Copula methods -Multivariate distributions -Estimation and goodness-of-fit tests -Measures of association -Quantitative risk management -Risk measures and stochastic orders -Time series -Environmental sciences -Computational methods and software -Extreme-value theory -Limit laws -Mass Transportations
