Nonparametric prediction of time series is a viable alternative to parametric prediction, since parametric prediction relies on the correct specification of the process, its order and the distribution of the innovations. Often these are not known and have to be estimated from the data. Another...

It is well known that the arithmetic mean of two possibly different copulas forms a copula, again. More general, we focus on the weighted power mean (WPM) of two arbitrary copulas which is not necessary a copula again, as different counterexamples reveal. However, various conditions regarding...
