We propose a local and general dependence quantifier between two random variables $X$ and $Y$, which we call Local Lift Dependence Scale, that does not assume any form of dependence (e.g., linear) between $X$ and $Y$, and is defined for a…

We consider solutions of the stochastic equation $X \stackrel{d}= \sum_{i=1}^N A_iX_i + B$, where $N$ is a random natural number, $B$ and $A_i$ are random positive numbers and $X_i$ are independent copies of $X$, which are independent also…

A common object to describe the extremal dependence of a $d$-variate random vector $X$ is the stable tail dependence function $L$. Various parametric models have emerged, with a popular subclass consisting of those stable tail dependence…
For a stochastic difference equation $D_n=A_nD_{n-1}+B_n$ which stabilises upon time we study tail distribution asymptotics of $D_n$ under the assumption that the distribution of $\log(1+|A_1|+|B_1|)$ is heavy-tailed, that is, all its…
Given two multivariate copulas with corresponding tail dependence functions, we investigate the relation between a natural tail dependence ordering $\leq_{tdo}$ and the order $\leq_{loc}$ of local stochastic dominance. We show that,…
Multivariate extreme value theory is concerned with modeling the joint tail behavior of several random variables. Existing work mostly focuses on asymptotic dependence, where the probability of observing a large value in one of the…

We develop a weighted local likelihood estimate for the parameters that govern the local spatial dependency of a locally stationary random field. The advantage of this local likelihood estimate is that it smoothly downweights the influence…
