Hi, I have received some very interesting remarks concerning my question on Copula with S-PLUS or SAS, thanks to all All stats users for their collaborations, and this is the list of responses: *********************** My query ******************************************* I have correlated data, I would like to use copula, my goal is to choose an appropriate copula to fit copula for a couple of variables of my data), and then to compute measures of correlation, like Spearman and others. Could you please give me examples of application of copulas, with programmes using SPLUS, or SAS. ***************************************************** Response of Lee There is functionality in the S+FinMetrics module for analysing data with copula. I would also recommend the following book, which includes a free S-PLUS library: "Statistical Analysis of Financial Data in S-PLUS" by Rene A. Carmona which contains examples. ************************************************************** Response of Rich. There's a great deal of copula functionality in S-PLUS' "FinMetrics" module (plus loads more besides). In particular, there are good examples of copulae estimation in the user manuals. Contact Insightful (cc'd on this email) for more information ... ***********************************************Patricia suggests You can use copulas (mle, simulation etc) via Splus6 module(finmetrics) Regards Adel --------------------------------- Créez gratuitement votre Yahoo!
