Statistical Dependence Modeling
Description
This volume on statistical dependence modeling is published in honor of Claudia Czado and her influential career in statistics. Reflecting the breadth of her research interests, the book presents authoritative peer-reviewed contributions on theoretical foundations, methodological innovations, and applications in dependence modeling, statistical methodology and Bayesian computation. It also features two historical accounts of vine copulas, a field that Claudia Czado has significantly influenced and contributed to. The book serves both as a scholarly resource and as a celebration of her scientific accomplishments.
