| Research Type | Experimental | We show its flexible tail dependence structure through simulation. Coupled with a GARCH model to eliminate serial dependence of each individual asset return series, we use this novel method to model and forecast multivariate conditional distribution of stock returns, and obtain notable performance improvements in multi-dimensional coverage tests. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Algorithm for learning parameters of our proposed tail dependence model with data. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not provide any information about the availability of open-source code for the described methodology. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper mentions using stock return data (Apple, IBM, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Walmart, Dow-Jones stocks, SP500) and specifies the date ranges and number of observations for each. However, it does not provide concrete access information (e.g., links, DOIs, specific repositories, or formal citations to publicly accessible versions) for the exact datasets used. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper specifies a 'testing set' but does not explicitly mention the use of a separate 'validation' set or its split details. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used to run the experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions various software components and models like 'GARCH model', 'AR(1)-GARCH(1,1)', 'quantile regression', 't-distribution innovation', 'multivariate normal', 'multivariate t', 'Clayton copula', and 'Gumbel copula'. However, it does not specify any version numbers for these software dependencies, which is necessary for reproducibility. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | A is a positive constant satisfying A 3 (see [Wu and Yan, 2019]). We set A = 4 in this paper. Now we have totally n location parameters µ1, . . . , µn, (n2+n)/2 usual correlation/scale parameters σ11, σ21, σ22, . . . , σnn, (n2+n)/2 right-tail parameters u11, u21, u22, . . . , unn, and (n2 + n)/2 left-tail parameters v11, v21, v22, . . . , vnn. The total number of parameters is n + 3(n2 + n)/2. ... we set Ψ = {0.01, 0.02, . . . , 0.98, 0.99} with 99 probability levels. Other smaller set that covers the interval (0, 1) sufficiently is also acceptable, e.g., {0.01, 0.05, 0.1, . . . , 0.9, 0.95, 0.99} with 21 levels. |
