Copulas are mathematical objects that fully capture the dependence structure among random variables and hence, offer a great flexibility in building multivariate stochastic models. In statistics, a copula is used as a general way of…
While measures of concordance -- such as Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, and Blomqvist's beta -- are continuous with respect to weak convergence, Chatterjee's rank correlation xi recently introduced in Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) does not…

Motivated by de Finetti's representation theorem for almost exchangeable arrays, we want to sample $\mathbf p \in [0,1]^d$ from a distribution with density proportional to $\exp(-A^2\sum_{i<j}c_{ij}(p_i-p_j)^2)$, where $A$ is large and…
Probability density estimation is a central task in statistics. Copula-based models provide a great deal of flexibility in modelling multivariate distributions, allowing for the specifications of models for the marginal distributions…
Many types of bounded data defined on the unit interval arise naturally as ratios of the form $X/(X + Y)$. In the existing literature, the main statistical models proposed for this type of bounded data typically based on the assumption that…
