rmdata: Simulation of d-Dimensional Temporally Independent...

In ExtremeRisks: Extreme Risk Measures

Description

Simulates samples of independent d-dimensional observations from parametric families of joint distributions with a given copula and equal marginal distributions.

Usage

rmdata (ndata, dist="studentT", copula="studentT", par)

Arguments

ndata	A positive interger specifying the number of observations to simulate.
dist	A string specifying the parametric family of equal marginal distributions. By default dist="studentT" specifies a Student-t family of distributions. See Details.
copula	A string specifying the type copula to be used. By default copula="studentT" specifies the Student-t copula. See Details.
par	A list of p parameters to be specified for the multivariate parametric family of distributions. See Details.

Details

For a joint multivariate distribution with a given parametric copula class (copula) and a given parametric family of equal marginal distributions (dist), a sample of size ndata is simulated.

• The available copula classes are: Student-t (copula="studentT") with ν>0 degrees of freedom (df) and scale parameters ρ_{i,j}\in (-1,1) for i != j=1,...,d (sigma), Gaussian (copula="Gaussian") with correlation parameters ρ_{i,j}\in (-1,1) for i != j=1,...,d (sigma), Clayton (copula="Clayton") with dependence parameter θ>0 (dep), Gumbel (copula="Gumbel") with dependence parameter θ≥q 1 (dep) and Frank (copula="Frank") with dependence parameter θ>0 (dep).

• The available families of marginal distributions are:

  • Student-t (dist="studentT") with ν>0 degrees of freedom (df);

  • Asymmetric Student-t (dist="AStudentT") with ν>0 degrees of freedom (df). In this case all the observations are only positive;

  • Frechet (dist="Frechet") with scale σ>0 (scale) and shape α>0 (shape) parameters.

  • Frechet (dist="double-Frechet") with scale σ>0 (scale) and shape α>0 (shape) parameters. In this case positive and negative observations are allowed;

  • symmetric Pareto (dist="double-Pareto") with scale σ>0 (scale) and shape α>0 (shape) parameters. In this case positive and negative observations are allowed.

• The available classes of multivariate joint distributions are:

  • studentT-studentT (dist="studentT" and copula="studentT") with parameters par <- list(df, sigma);

  • studentT (dist="studentT" and copula="None" with parameters par <- list(df, dim). In this case the d variables are regarded as independent;

  • studentT-AstudentT (dist="AstudentT" and copula="studentT") with parameters par <- list(df, sigma, shape);

  • Gaussian-studentT (dist="studentT" and copula="Gaussian") with parameters par <- list(df, sigma);

  • Gaussian-AstudentT (dist="AstudentT" and copula="Gaussian") with parameters par <- list(df, sigma, shape);

  • Frechet (dist="Frechet" and copula="None") with parameters par <- list(shape, dim). In this case the d variables are regarded as independent;

  • Clayton-Frechet (dist="Frechet" and copula="Clayton") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Gumbel-Frechet (dist="Frechet" and copula="Gumbel") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Frank-Frechet (dist="Frechet" and copula="Frank") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Clayton-double-Frechet (dist="double-Frechet" and copula="Clayton") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Gumbel-double-Frechet (dist="double-Frechet" and copula="Gumbel") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Frank-double-Frechet (dist="double-Frechet" and copula="Frank") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Clayton-double-Pareto (dist="double-Pareto" and copula="Clayton") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Gumbel-double-Pareto (dist="double-Pareto" and copula="Gumbel") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape);

  • Frank-double-Pareto (dist="double-Pareto" and copula="Frank") with parameters par <- list(dep, dim, scale, shape).

  Note that above dim indicates the number of d marginal variables.

Value

A matrix of (n x d) observations simulated from a specified multivariate parametric joint distribution.
