class NormalCopulaFactory(*args)

Normal Copula factory.

See also

DistributionFactory, NormalCopula

Notes

We note \Hat{\tau}_n the Kendall-\tau of the sample.

The correlation matrix \mat{R}_n is first estimated using Kendall’s tau by:

R_{n,ij} = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\Hat{\tau}_{n,ij}\right)_{\strut}

and if it fails, using Spearman’s correlation:

R_{n,ij} = 2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\Hat{\rho}_{n,ij}\right)_{\strut}

Parameters:
sample2-d sequence of float

Data.

paramsequence of float

The parameters of the NormalCopula.

Returns:
copulaNormalCopula

The estimated copula as a Normal copula.

In the first usage, the default Normal copula is built.

buildEstimator(*args)

Build the distribution and the parameter distribution.

Parameters:
sample2-d sequence of float

Data.

parametersDistributionParameters

Optional, the parametrization.

Returns:
resDistDistributionFactoryResult

The results.

Notes

According to the way the native parameters of the distribution are estimated, the parameters distribution differs:

  • Moments method: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data;

  • Maximum likelihood method with a regular model: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix is the inverse Fisher information matrix;

  • Other methods: the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting (see KernelSmoothing).

If another set of parameters is specified, the native parameters distribution is first estimated and the new distribution is determined from it:

  • if the native parameters distribution is normal and the transformation regular at the estimated parameters values: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix determined from the inverse Fisher information matrix of the native parameters and the transformation;

  • in the other cases, the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting.

getBootstrapSize()
