3 (Multivariate) Return Period The notion of Return Period (RP) is frequently used in environmental sciences for the identication of dangerous events, and provides a means for rational decision making and risk assessment. Roughly speaking, the RP can be considered as an analogue of the Value-at-Risk in Economics and Finance, since it is used to quantify and assess the risk. During the last years, researchers in environmental elds joined eorts to properly answer the following crucial question: How is it possible to calculate the critical design event(s) in the multivariate case?. In this sense, a possible consistent theoretical framework for the calculation of the design event(s) and the associated return period(s) in a multi-dimensional environment, is proposed, e.g., by Salvadori et al. (2011), Salvadori et al. (2012), Gräler et al.

8 Critical layers Consider the (nonnegative) real-valued random vector X = (x 1,..., X d ) such that X FX = C(F X1,..., F Xd ), with FX : R d + [0, 1]. Denition (Critical layer) The critical layer L(α) associated to the multivariate distribution function FX of level α (0, 1) is dened as L(α) = {x R d + : FX(x) = α}. Then L(α) is the iso-hyper-surface (with dimension d 1) where F equals the constant value α. The critical layer L(α) partitions R d into three non-overlapping and exhaustive regions: L < (α) = {x R d : FX(x) < α}, L(α) = the critical layer itself, L > (α) = {x R d : FX(x) > α}.
9 Multivariate RP and Critical layers Event of interest is of the type {X A}, where A is a non-empty Borel set in R d collecting all the values judged to be dangerous according to some suitable criterion. A natural choice for A is the set L > (α) Then RP > (α) = t, where P[X L > t > 0 is the (α)] (deterministic) average time elapsing between X k and X k+1, k IN. Then, the considered Return Period can be expressed using Kendall's function RP > (α) = t 1 1 K C (α), where K C (α) = P [ X L < (α) ] = P [C(U 1,..., U d ) α], for α (0, 1).

15 1 It can represent some kind of a priori belief on dependence structure of the data. Elena Di Bernardino, ICRA 6 / RISK 2015 () Estimation of Multivariate critical layers Barcelona, May 26-29, 2015 Proposed distributional model Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation We consider the following model, F (x 1,..., x d ) = T C 0(T 1 F 1 1(x 1),..., T 1 d F d (x d )), or equivalently F (x 1,..., x d ) = C( F 1(x 1),..., F d (x d )), with C(u 1,..., u d ) = T C 0(T 1 (u 1),..., T 1 (u 1)) F i (x) = T T 1 i F i (x), for i I, where F 1,..., F d are given parametric initial marginal cumulative distribution functions, and where C 0 is a given initial Archimedean copula 1
16 2 Conditions on transformations such that C is a copula are discussed for example in Durante et al. (2010), Di Bernardino and Rullière (2013a), Di Bernardino and Rullière (2013b). Elena Di Bernardino, ICRA 6 / RISK 2015 () Estimation of Multivariate critical layers Barcelona, May 26-29, 2015 Archimedean copulas Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation C φ (u 1,..., u d ) = φ(φ 1 (u 1) φ 1 (u d )), where the function φ is called the generator of the Archimedean copula C φ. The function T : [0, 1] [0, 1] is a continuous and increasing function on the interval [0, 1], with T (0) = 0, T (1) = 1, with supplementary assumptions that will be chosen to guarantee that C is also a copula 2. Internal transformations T i : [0, 1] [0, 1] are continuous non-decreasing functions, such that T i (0) = 0, T i (1) = 1, for i I.
17 Diagonal section Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation Firstly, we propose some (classical) estimators of the diagonal section δ 1 of a copula, δ 1(u) = C(u,..., u), u [0, 1]. For any u [0, 1], the empirical estimation for the diagonal of C and its inverse, i.e., { δemp (u) = Ĉ(u,..., u), 1 { δ emp (u) = arginf x [0, 1]; 1 } emp δ (x) u. 1 At a relative integer order k Z, the self-nested diagonals estimators are dened as δ k (u) = δ 1... δ 1(u), (k times), k IN δ k (u) = δ 1... δ 1(u), (k times), k IN δ 0(u) = u.
18 Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation Denition (Non-parametric estimators of T and T i ) For a given arbitrary couple (x 0, y 0) (0, 1) 2, a non-parametric estimator of T is given by T (x) = δ r(x) (y 0), for all x (0, 1) with r(x) such that δ 0 r(x)(x 0) = x, where δ 0 r(x) refers to the self nested diagonal of the initial Archimedean copula C 0, i.e., ( ) δr(x)(x 0 0) = φ 0 d r(x) φ 1 (x 0 0) and r(x) = 1 ( φ 1 ln ln (x) ) 0. d φ 1 (x 0 0) In particular, if C 0 is the independence copula:, r(x) = 1 ln d ln ( i I, non-parametric estimators T i are T i (x) = F i F 1 i T (x). ln x ln x0 ). For any
19 A class of parametric transformation Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation In practice, we will propose some parametric estimators for the transformations T and T i, by requiring that these transformations are passing through a nite set of points coming from the non-parametric estimators proposed above. Univariate distribution F F(x) x
20 A class of parametric transformation Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation We take back from Bienvenüe and Rullière (2012): Denition (Conversion and transformation functions) Let f any bijective increasing function from R to R. It is said to be a conversion function. The transformation T f : [0, 1] [0, 1] is dened as 0 if u = 0, T f (u) = logit 1 (f (logit(u))) if 0 < u < 1, 1 if u = 1. Remark: transformations function are chosen in a way to be easily invertible (T f T g = T f g, T 1 f = T f 1). We will use (composited) hyperbolic conversion functions: ( x m h f (x) = H m,h,p1,p2,η(x) = m h + (ep 1 + e p 2 ) x m h 2 (e p 1 e p 2 ) with m, h, p1, p2 R, and one smoothing parameter η R. H 1 m,h,p1,p2,η (x) = H m, h, p1, p2,η(x). 2 ) 2 + e η p 1 +p 2 2
21 Nonparametric estimation Parametric estimation Denition (Smooth estimation of T and T i, i I ) Let Q and Q i, i I be given sets of quantile levels. Let η R and η i R, i I be given smoothing parameters. One denes { T = H θ,η, T i = H θi,η i, i I, One can dene the complete vector parameter Θ = ( θ1,..., θ d, θ, η 1,..., η d, η), with θ i = (m i, h i, p i 1, p i 2), for i 1,..., d
22 Geyser data: illustration The previous parametric model allows to get various analytical results for both the transformed multivariate distribution function; its associated critical layers; Kendall's function and multivariate return periods. Firstly we obtain the parametric expression for the transformed copula C: C(u 1,..., u d ) = φ( φ 1 (u 1) φ 1 (u d )), where φ(t) = T (φ0(t)), where φ 0 is the generator associated to the initial copula C 0 and T is the smooth estimator of the external transformation. The corresponding estimated transformed multivariate distribution is given by: F Θ (x 1,..., x d ) = H θ,η C 0(H 1 θ1,η1 F 1(x 1),..., H 1 θ d,η d F d (x d )), where Θ is the complete estimated vector parameter.
23 Geyser data: illustration The associated transformed parametric α critical-layers are given by L Θ (α) = {(F 1 1 H θ1,η1 (u 1),..., F 1 d H θd,η (u d )), d (u 1,..., u d ) (0, 1) d, C 0(u 1,..., u d ) = H 1 θ,η (α)}. The estimated transformed Kendall distribution K C can be easily written as: K C (α) = α + d 1 i=1 1 ( ) i ( ) φ 1 (T 1 (i) ( ) (α)) 0 T φ0 φ 1 (T 1 (α)), 0 i! for α (0, 1), where φ(t) = T (φ 0(t)), and the notation f (i) corresponds to the i th derivatives of a function f. Then, the associated multivariate Return Period RP > (α) = t 1. 1 K C (α)
