• Title: Bivariate vine copula based regression, bivariate level and quantile curves
• Authors: Marija Tepegjozova and Claudia Czado
• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel graph structure model specifically designed for a symmetric treatment of two responses in a predictive regression setting. We use vine copulas the typical shortfalls of regression, as the need for transformations or interactions of predictors, collinearity or quantile crossings are avoided. We apply our approach to weather measurements from Seoul, Korea.

• Abstract: The statistical analysis of univariate quantiles is a well developed research topic. However, there is a need for research in multivariate quantiles. We construct bivariate (conditional) quantiles using the level curves of vine copula based bivariate regression model. Vine copulas are graph theoretical models identified by a sequence of linked trees, which allow for separate modelling of marginal distributions and the dependence structure. We introduce a novel graph structure model (given by a tree sequence) specifically designed for a symmetric treatment of two responses in a predictive regression setting. We establish computational tractability of the model and a straight forward way of obtaining different conditional distributions. Using vine copulas the typical shortfalls of regression, as the need for transformations or interactions of predictors, collinearity or quantile crossings are avoided. We illustrate the copula based bivariate level curves for different copula distributions and show how they can be adjusted to form valid quantile curves. We apply our approach to weather measurements from Seoul, Korea. This data example emphasizes the benefits of the joint bivariate response modelling in contrast to two separate univariate regressions or by assuming conditional independence, for bivariate response data set in the presence of conditional dependence.

  We explore a family of expressive and interpretable distributions over circle-valued random functions. The resulting probability model has connections with continuous spin models in statistical physics. For posterior inference, we introduce a new Stratonovich-like augmentation that lends itself to fast Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling.

  Multi-modal regression is important in forecasting nonstationary processes or with a complex mixture of distributions.

It is proved that this structured model can efficiently interpolate this tessellation and approximate the multiple hypotheses target distribution.

  Quantile regression (QR) is a statistical tool for distribution-free estimation of conditional quantiles of a target variable given explanatory features. By leveraging optimal transport theory and c-concave functions, we meaningfully define conditional vector quantile functions of high-dimensional variables. We demonstrate the approach's efficacy and provide insights regarding the meaning of non-Euclidean quantiles through synthetic and real data experiments.

  We consider molecular data from multiple 'omics sources as predictors of early-life iron deficiency (ID) in a rhesus monkey model. We use a linear model with a low-rank structure on the coefficients to capture multi-way dependence. We show that our model performs as expected in terms of misclassification rates and correlation of estimated coefficients with true coefficients.

  We implement a two-step approach to multi-omic logistic regression in which variable selection is performed on each layer separately.

Our proposed approach allows us to identify features that characterise cardiometabolic syndrome at the molecular level.
