Estimation in nonlinear mixed-effects models using heavy-tailed distributions
2010
Statistics and computing
Nonlinear mixed-effects models are very useful to analyze repeated measures data and are used in a variety of applications. ...
In this work, we introduce an extension of a normal nonlinear mixed-effects model considering a subclass of elliptical contoured distributions for both random effects and residual errors. ...
In Section 2, we describe the family of heavy-tailed distributions and EM and SAEM algorithms used in this work. Section 3 presents the nonlinear mixed-effects model with heavy-tailed distributions. ...

Bayesian inference for a nonlinear mixed-effects Tobit model with multivariate skew-t distributions: application to AIDS studies
2012
The International Journal of Biostatistics
To properly adjust for left-censoring, this paper presents an extension of the Tobit model for fitting nonlinear dynamic mixed-effects models with skew distributions. ...
Such extensions allow one to specify the conditional distributions for viral load response to account for left-censoring, skewness and heaviness in the tails of the distributions of the response variable ...
This may be due to the fact that an additional parameter ν for heaviness in the tails was estimated lessening the effect of skewness. ...

Detecting multifractal stochastic processes under heavy-tailed effects
2014
Chaos, Solitons & Fractals
A nonlinear estimated scaling function and non-trivial spectrum are usually considered as signs of a multifractal property in the data. ...
In this paper we analyze the method when the underlying process has heavy-tailed increments. ...
Summary and discussion We provided a rigorous proof that estimating the scaling function using the partition function can lead to nonlinear estimates under the presence of heavy tails. ...

SS&IAGA-EM-based Algorithm for Fitting a Continuous PH Distribution
2011
Systems Engineering Procedia
It is an important and difficult task in model analysis of traffic engineering to fit with the general distribution or test data whether which fit the distribution or not via PH distribution. ...
In the data fitting test for long-tailed distribution function, partial peak distribution function and heavytailed distribution function with a sample size of 104, the maximum error of the algorithm is ...

First, in the literature, most studies of longitudinal modeling assume that model error and/or random-effects in mixed-effects models follow normal distribution due to mathematical tractability and computational ...

Modelling and Forecasting the Volatility of Cryptocurrencies: A Comparison of Nonlinear GARCH-Type Models
2020
International Journal of Financial Research
Consequently, nonlinear GARCH-type models taking into account distributions of innovations that capture skewness, kurtosis and heavy tails constitute excellent tools for modelling returns in cryptocurrencies ...
The results of this study assert the presence of an inherently nonlinear mean-reverting process, leading to the presence of asymmetry in the considered return series. ...

International diversification: A copula approach
2011
Journal of Banking & Finance
In light of theoretical research linking diversification and dependence, we examine international diversification using two measures of dependence: correlations and copulas. ...
Second, there is evidence of asymmetric dependence or downside risk in the G5 and Latin America, but very little in east Asia. ...
Since copulas represent dependence of arbitrary distributions, in principle they allow us to examine diversification effects for heavy-tailed joint distributions, following the logic of Brumelle (1974 ...
