Abstract:
|
Copula models have been widely used to model dependence between con- tinuous random variables, but modelling count data via copulas has recently become popular in the statistics literature. Spearman's rho is a widely used measure for the strength of association between two random variables. In this talk, we propose the population version of Spearman's rho correlation via copulas when both random variables are discrete. The explicit form of the Spearman correlation are obtained for some copulas of simple structure such as Archimedean copula family. Then, the Spearman's rho correlations are compared with their corresponding Kendall's tau values. Finally, the results are applied to model the count data in our simulation study and a real data analysis.
