Dear all, I am looking to hire a consultant/ adviser who can help me to get my head around copulas. For a person familiar with the topic ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copula_(statistics)) who knows the copula package or similar (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v21/i04/paper) I think the job should not take more than a couple of hours, one day maximum. Please contact me in case you are interested so that I can provide you with additional details on the problem I'd like to solve. Thanks, Michael Michael Haenlein Associate Professor of Marketing ESCP Europe Paris, France [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
