Recently, there has been an increasing interest on the combination of copulas with a finite mixture model. By a finite mixture, a suitable weighted sum of a parametric densities are tied together in a probabilistic manner. The combination of vine copulas incorporated into a finite mixture model is also beneficial to capture hidden structures in a data set. On the other hand, there are limited number of studies about the mixture of vine copulas. In this dissertation, different mixture of vines are proposed for expressing the complex and hidden dependencies in a multivariate data. Firstly, the mixture of vine copulas with different dependence structures are offered to capture the complex association in higher dimension. For this reason, finite mixture of C-vine is studied with different copula pairs. Thereafter, finite mixture of C- and D-vines have been tested with the same copula family. Lastly, as a novel approach, finite number of C-vines are incorporated into a D-vine copula model to derive the association between several variables. The values of cumulative distribution functions for each component having C-vine structure are combined with D-vine by considering the temporal ordering of the components. The performance of the proposed models are tested using simulated and real data sets, then the corresponding results are interpreted in depth.

Finite Mixture of C-vines for Complex Dependence Evkaya, Ömer Ozan; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Ayşe Sevtap (2017-08-18) Recently, there has been an increasing interest on the combination of copulas with a finite mixture model. Such a framework is useful to reveal the hidden dependence patterns observed for random variables flexibly in terms of statistical modeling. The combination of vine copulas incorporated into a finite mixture model is also beneficial for capturing hidden structures on a multivariate data set. In this respect, the main goal of this study is extending the study of Kim et al. (2013) with different scenario...
Estimating the neutral real interest rate for Turkey by using an unobserved componenets model Öğünç, Fethi; Batmaz, İnci; Department of Statistics (2006) In this study, neutral real interest rate gap and output gap are estimated jointly under two different multivariate unobserved components models with the motivation to provide empirical measures that can be used to analyze the amount of stimulus that monetary policy is passing on to the economy, and to understand historical macroeconomic developments. In the analyses, Kalman filter technique is applied to a small-scale macroeconomic model of the Turkish economy to estimate the unobserved variables for the p...
Stock mechanics: A general theory and method of energy conservation with applications on DJIA Tuncay, Çağlar (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-11-01) A new method, based on the original theory of conservation of sum of kinetic and potential energy defined for prices is proposed and applied on the Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA). The general trends averaged over months or years gave a roughly conserved total energy, with three different potential energies, i.e., positive definite quadratic, negative definite quadratic and linear potential energy for exponential rises (and falls), sinusoidal oscillations and parabolic trajectories, respectively. Corre...
Analysis of Covariance with Non-normal Errors ŞENOĞLU, BİRDAL; Avcioglu, Mubeccel Didem (Wiley, 2009-12-01) P>Analysis of covariance techniques have been developed primarily for normally distributed errors. We give solutions when the errors have non-normal distributions. We show that our solutions are efficient and robust. We provide a real-life example.
Maximum Drawdown and Drawdown Duration of Spectrally Negative Levy Processes Decomposed at Extremes Vardar Acar, Ceren; Avram, Florin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-06) Path decomposition is performed to characterize the law of the pre-/post-supremum, post-infimum and the intermediate processes of a spectrally negative Levy process taken up to an independent exponential time T. As a result, mainly the distributions of the supremum of the post-infimum process and the maximum drawdown of the pre-/post-supremum, post-infimum processes and the intermediate processes are obtained together with the law of drawdown durations.
