报告题目:BayesianInference for the One-Factor Copula Model

报告人Anastasios Panagiotelis Monash University

 

摘要:We develope efficient Bayesian inference for the one-factor copula model with two significantcontributions over existing methodologies. First, our approach leads to straightforwardinference on dependence parameters and the latent factor; only inference on theformer is available under frequentist alternatives. Second, we develop areversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm that averages over modelsconstructed from different bivariate copula building blocks. Our approachaccommodates any combination of discrete and continuous margins. Throughextensive simulations, we compare the computational and Monte Carlo efficiencyof alternative proposed sampling schemes. The preferred algorithm providesreliable inference on parameters, the latent factor and model space. Thepotential of the methodology is highlighted in an empirical study of ten binarymeasures of socio-economic deprivation collected for 11463 East Timoresehouseholds. The importance of conducting inference on the latent factor ismotivated by constructing a poverty index using estimates of the factor. Comparedto a linear Gaussian factor model, our model average improves out-of-samplefit. The relationships between the poverty index and observed variablesuncovered by our approach are diverse and allow for a richer and more preciseunderstanding of the dependence between overall deprivation and individualmeasures of well-being.
