Mixed Vine Toolbox for Matlab

Toolbox for canonical vine copula trees with mixed continuous and discrete margins. If you use this toolbox, then please cite: A. Onken and S. Panzeri (2016). Mixed vine copulas as joint models of spike counts and local field potentials. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 29 (NIPS 2016).

Description

In this toolbox, we implemented a complete framework based on canonical vine copulas for modelling multivariate data that are partly discrete and partly continuous. The resulting multivariate distributions are flexible with rich dependence structures and arbitrary margins. For continuous margins, we provide implementations of the normal and the gamma distributions. For discrete margins, we provide the Poisson, binomial and negative binomial distributions. As bivariate copula building blocks, we provide the Gaussian, student and Clayton families as well as rotation transformed Clayton families. The toolbox includes methods for sampling, likelihood calculation and inference, all of which have quadratic complexity. These procedures are combined to estimate entropy and mutual information by means of Monte Carlo integration.

Demonstration

The script demo.m demonstrates how to apply the Mixed Vine Toolbox. It constructs a 4D mixed canonical vine with normal, gamma, Poisson and binomial margins and builds the vine tree from Gaussian, Student, Clayton and rotated Clayton copula families. It calculates and plots multivariate marginal probability densities, samples from the distribution, estimates the model from the samples and calculates entropy.
