In this paper we develop a class of applied probabilistic continuous time but discretized state space decompositions of the characterization of a multivariate generalized diffusion process. This decomposition is novel and, in particular, it allows one to construct families of mimicking classes...

There is now an increasingly large number of proposed concordance measures available to capture, measure and quantify different notions of dependence in stochastic processes. However, evaluation of concordance measures to quantify such types of dependence for different copula models can be...

We develop a new class of techniques that takes a copula function and quantifies the dependence properties through a localized coefficient of dependence in the state space. Effectively we develop a numerical procedure to map any copula function to a generalized Gaussian copula function. This...

This paper deals with dependence across marginally exponentially distributed arrival times, such as default times in financial modeling or inter-failure times in reliability theory. We explore the relationship between dependence and the possibility to sample final multivariate survival in a long...

We consider counterparty risk for Credit Default Swaps (CDS) in presence of correlation between default of the counterparty and default of the CDS reference credit. Our approach is innovative in that, besides default correlation, which was taken into account in earlier approaches, we also model...
