Copula & Marginal Flows: Disentangling the Marginal from its Joint
Deep generative networks such as GANs and normalizing flows flourish in the context of high-dimensional tasks such as image generation. However, so far exact modeling or extrapolation of distributional properties such as the tail asymptotics generated by a generative network is not available. In this paper, we address this issue for the first time in the deep learning literature by making two novel contributions. First, we derive upper bounds for the tails that can be expressed by a generative network and demonstrate Lp-space related properties. There we show specifically that in various situations an optimal generative network does not exist. Second, we introduce and propose copula and marginal generative flows (CM flows) which allow for an exact modeling of the tail and any prior assumption on the CDF up to an approximation of the uniform distribution. Our numerical results support the use of CM flows.

Valid and Expressive Copulas for Irregular Multivariate Time Series
We introduce CopFITi, a copula model for probabilistic forecasting of irregular multivariate time series (IMTS). Our model combines the expressivity of normalizing flows for univariate marginals with the consistency and …
COMET Flows: Towards Generative Modeling of Multivariate Extremes and Tail Dependence
Normalizing flows, a popular class of deep generative models, often fail to represent extreme phenomena observed in real-world processes. In particular, existing normalizing flow architectures struggle to model multivari…
On heavy-tailed risks under Gaussian copula: the effects of marginal transformation
In this paper, we compute multivariate tail risk probabilities where the marginal risks are heavy-tailed and the dependence structure is a Gaussian copula. The marginal heavy-tailed risks are modeled using regular variat…
Characterizing neural dependencies with copula models
The coding of information by neural populations depends critically on the statistical dependencies between neuronal responses. However, there is no simple model that combines the observations that (1) marginal distributi…
Copula Flows for Synthetic Data Generation
The ability to generate high-fidelity synthetic data is crucial when available (real) data is limited or where privacy and data protection standards allow only for limited use of the given data, e.g., in medical and fina…
