Copulas are mathematical objects that fully capture the dependence structure among random variables and hence offer great flexibility in building multivariate stochastic models. Since their introduction in the early 1950s, copulas have gained considerable popularity in several fields of applied mathematics, especially finance and insurance. Today, copulas represent a well-recognized tool for market and credit models, aggregation of risks, and portfolio selection. Historically, the Gaussian copula model has been one of the most common models in credit risk. However, the recent financial crisis has underlined its limitations and drawbacks. In fact, despite their simplicity, Gaussian copula mod...
This book presents contributions and review articles on the theory of copulas and their applications. The authoritative and refereed contributions review the latest findings in the area with emphasis on “classical” topics like distributions with fixed marginals, measures of association, construction of copulas with given additional information, etc. The book celebrates the 75th birthday of Professor Roger B. Nelsen and his outstanding contribution to the development of copula theory. Most of the book’s contributions were presented at the conference “Copulas and Their Applications” held in his honor in Almería, Spain, July 3-5, 2017. The chapter 'When Gumbel met Galambos' is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

This book is a collaborative effort from three workshops held over the last three years, all involving principal contributors to the vine-copula methodology. Research and applications in vines have been growing rapidly and there is now a growing need to collate basic results, and standardize terminology and methods. Specifically, this handbook will (1) trace historical developments, standardizing notation and terminology, (2) summarize results on bivariate copulae, (3) summarize results for regular vines, and (4) give an overview of its applications. In addition, many of these results are new and not readily available in any existing journals. New research directions are also discussed.
Commissioned by the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC), Statistics in Action: A Canadian Outlook helps both general readers and users of statistics better appreciate the scope and importance of statistics. It presents the ways in which statistics is used while highlighting key contributions that Canadian statisticians are making to science, techno
Das Buch beinhaltet die wichtigsten mathematischen Konzepte und Methoden für ein erfolgreiches Studium der Betriebs- oder Volkswirtschaftslehre. Dabei ist es umfassender als aktuell erscheinende, rein auf Bachelorstudiengänge ausgerichtete Werke und stellt daher einen zuverlässigen Begleiter vom Bachelor bis zum Master dar. Bewusst werden die Inhalte nicht nur anhand zahlreicher Beispiele erläutert, sondern mathematische Sachverhalte auch formal dargestellt und bewiesen. Behandelt werden elementare und formale Grundlagen der Mathematik, Methoden der linearen Algebra, der Analysis von Funktionen einer und mehrerer Variablen sowie einfache Differenzen- und Differentialgleichungen. Darüber hinaus enthält die vorliegende 12. Auflage des Buches eine erweiterte Darstellung der Finanzmathematik sowie einen Überblick über Modelle und Methoden der linearen, nichtlinearen und ganzzahligen Optimierung.
