A Kernel Approach to Multivariate Generalized Gammas Convolutions
Léo Gonin, Esterina Masiello, Véronique Maume-Deschamps
Source abstract
We propose a kernel-based estimation framework for Multivariate Generalized Gamma convolutions (MGGC), a class of probability distributions on R d + . MGGC are useful for risk modeling e.g. Their densities are in general not explicit. The construction relies on a new Stein operator for the MGGC class, derived from a partial differential equation satisfied by the characteristic function and expressed as an integral against the underlying Thorin measure. This leads to construct a new kernel and an estimation procedure in the derived reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS); with consistency results. Numerical experiments illustrate the practical behaviour of the proposed estimator.
