Factor tree copula models for item response data

Sayed H. Kadhem, Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

Factor copula models for item response data are more interpretable and fit better than (truncated) vine copula models when dependence can be explained through latent variables, but…

Bi-factor and second-order copula models for item response data

Sayed H. Kadhem, Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

Bi-factor and second-order models based on copulas are proposed for item response data, where the items can be split into non-overlapping groups such that there is a homogeneous de…

A multinomial truncated D-vine copula mixed model for the joint meta-analysis of multiple diagnostic tests

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

There is an extensive literature on methods for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies, but it mainly focuses on a single test. However, the better understanding of a particular disea…

An one-factor copula mixed model for joint meta-analysis of multiple diagnostic tests

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

As the meta-analysis of more than one diagnostic tests can impact clinical decision making and patient health, there is an increasing body of research in models and methods for met…

The bivariate -finite normal mixture "blanket" copula

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

There exist many bivariate parametric copulas to model bivariate data with different dependence features. We propose a new bivariate parametric copula family that cannot only handl…

Factor copula models for mixed data

Sayed H. Kadhem, Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

We develop factor copula models for analysing the dependence among mixed continuous and discrete responses. Factor copula models are canonical vine copulas that involve both observ…

A multinomial quadrivariate D-vine copula mixed model for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies in the presence of non-evaluable subjects

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

Diagnostic test accuracy studies observe the result of a gold standard procedure that defines the presence or absence of a disease and the result of a diagnostic test. They typical…

An extended trivariate vine copula mixed model for meta-analysis of diagnostic studies in the presence of non-evaluable outcomes

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

A recent paper proposed an extended trivariate generalized linear mixed model (TGLMM) for synthesis of diagnostic test accuracy studies in the presence of non-evaluable index test…

A D-vine copula mixed model for joint meta-analysis and comparison of diagnostic tests

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

For a particular disease there may be two diagnostic tests developed, where each of the tests is subject to several studies. A quadrivariate generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) h…

On composite likelihood in bivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

The composite likelihood (CL) is amongst the computational methods used for estimation of the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) in the context of bivariate meta-analysis of dia…

A copula-based model for multivariate ordinal panel data: application to well-being composition

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos, Emmanouil Mentzakis

A novel copula-based multivariate panel ordinal model is developed to estimate structural relations among components of well-being. Each ordinal time-series is modelled using a cop…

Coupling couples with copulas: analysis of assortative matching on risk attitude

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos, Peter G. Moffatt

We investigate patterns of assortative matching on risk attitude, using self-reported (ordinal) data on risk attitudes for males and females within married couples, from the German…

Hybrid copula mixed models for combining case-control and cohort studies in meta-analysis of diagnostic tests

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

Copula mixed models for trivariate (or bivariate) meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting (or not) for disease prevalence have been proposed in the biostatisti…

Correlation structure and variable selection in generalized estimating equations via composite likelihood information criteria

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

The method of generalized estimating equations (GEE) is popular in the biostatistics literature for analyzing longitudinal binary and count data. It assumes a generalized linear mo…

Weighted scores method for longitudinal ordinal data

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

Extending generalized estimating equations (GEE) to ordinal response data requires a conversion of the ordinal response to a vector of binary category indicators. That leads to a r…

A vine copula mixed effect model for trivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies accounting for disease prevalence

Aristidis K. Nikoloulopoulos

A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that is superior to the standard generalized linear m…
