arXiv:2605.23134v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: No existing nested Archimedean copula tool handles all three of (a) arbitrary per-variable (right-)censoring in survival analysis, (b) arbitrary nesting trees, and (c) exact parameter gradients. Existing implementations handle only bivariate problems, low dimensional (i.e., $d \leq 10$) cases, two layers of nesting, or only hand-derived copula nestings. We present \textsc{acopula}, a JAX-native framework that, given any Archimedean generator -- classical or neural -- evaluates exact nested-copula likelihoods and parameter gradients under arbitrar
The continuous advancements in AI and statistical modeling require more robust and flexible tools for complex data analysis, especially in areas like survival analysis and high-dimensional dependencies.
This development allows for more accurate and computationally efficient modeling of complex multivariate dependencies, crucial for advanced AI applications and scientific research where traditional methods fall short due to dimensionality or censoring.
The introduction of a JAX-native framework that handles arbitrary nesting and exact parameter gradients for Archimedean copulas significantly expands the scope and accuracy of multivariate statistical modeling in diverse fields.
