similar to: Using copulas with user-defined marginal functions

Hello, I am trying to do a fit a loglikelihood function with Multivariate distribution via copulas with fitMdvc. The problem is that it doesn't recognize that my beta is a vector of km parameter and when I try to run it it say that the length of my initial values is not the same as the parameter. Can somebody guide me where my mistake is. Thanks, Elisa. #################################

Thanks Dimitris!!! That's much clearer now. Still have a lot of work to do this weekend to understand every bit but your code will prove very useful.

hi, first I want to say that I'm new here, and new with copula and R. That is the reason why I'm writing, if somebody can help me. I have to make an example of Copula. On internet I've found this forum and that copula can calculate with R. Can somebody help me with the thing how can I start and where can read about these stuffs. Thank to all who can help! -- View this message

Hi, I'd like to know why using the program "R" I can't add a number of margins> 3, I have a problem with the graphics. Post here my script: > myCop.norm <- ellipCopula(family = "normal", dim = 3, param = 0.4) > myMvd <- mvdc(copula = myCop.norm, margins = c("norm", "norm","norm"), > paramMargins = list(list(mean = 0, sd

Hi r-users, I try to fit the t copula using the gamma marginals.  But I got error message which I don't really understand. Thank you for any help given. myCop.t <- ellipCopula(family = "t", dim = 2, dispstr = "toep", param = 0.5, df = 8) myCop.t myMvd <- mvdc(copula = myCop.t, margins = c("gamma", "gamma"), paramMargins = list(list(mean = 0, sd

Dear users I am reposting this and hope it will be accepted this time. I am using copula package to fit my bivariate data and simulation. As explained in package documentation we can use our own data distribution to feed on copula as long as we have d, p and q (pdf, cdf and quantile) functions are available. Hence my code for those are: # Make the functions for data distribution

Dear r list, I posted this on the S list last week since i'm using some of the FinMetrics functions on copula. Knowing there is a copula package in R, I figure this would be an appropriate forum to ask this question. I want to model inverse relationship between two (non-normal, non-symmetric) marginals with the gumbel copula, or with any copula. Say, x is lognormal and y is norm. Since

Hola, Quiero saber si es posible programar una cópula donde las funciones marginales son multivariantes, siguiendo el esquema del package ''Copula''. Es decir, Copula(F(x,y), G(w,z))) En el caso de funciones marginales univariantes, un ejemplo de la normal multivariante quedaria de la siguiente forma,

Hi, I have a bivariate longitudinal dataset. As an example say, i have the data frame with column names var1 var2 Unit time trt (trt represents the treatment) Now suppose I want to fit a joint model of the form for the *i* th unit var1jk = alpha1 + beta1*timejk + gamma1* trtjk + delta1* timejk:trtjk + error1jk var2 = alpha2 + beta2*timejk + gamma2* trtjk + delta2* timejk:trtjk +

I want to use copula package in R to generate random vector of multivariate F distribution with a pre-specified diagonal covariance matrix, say, diag(2, 3, 0, 0, 0). Can someone tell me how I can specify the diagonal covariance matrix in the copula function "mvdc"? Thank you very much.

Hi all, I am going to sample two variables from two exponential distributions, but I want to specify a covariance structure between these two variables. Is there any way to do it in R? Or is there a "Multivariate Exponential" thing corresponding to the multivariate normal? Thanks in advance.

Sir, I want to draw random from any multivariate disrtibution. Is there any function in R to do this? Regards, Suman Dhara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear I estimate a sample selection model using the Clayton copula and Burr and Gaussian marginal. I need to derive ther Kendall'sw tau from the concordance coefficient by integration. I came across a way to do that in R long time ago but cannot find it again. Can somewone tell me what to read and what to use? Thank you. Steven Yen

Hi r-users,   I really need help in fitting the t-copula.  I try to reproduce the example given by Jun Yan in “Enjoy the joy of copula” but I’m not sure how to correct the error based on the error message.  I tried so many ways but still could not get it working.   loglik.marg <- function(b, x) sum(dgamma(x, shape = b[1], scale = b[2], log = TRUE))   ctrl <- list(fnscale = -1)   #dat <-

Greetings, I'm interested in generating data from various bivariate or mulitivariate distributions (e.g. gamma, t, etc), where I can specify the parameter values, including the correlations among the variables. I haven't been able to dig anything up on the faq, but I probably missed something. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. David --

Hi, I found this document, but it concerns S+.
