Valid and Expressive Copulas for Irregular Multivariate Time Series
Researchers have developed CopFITi, a novel copula model designed for probabilistic forecasting of irregular multivariate time series. This model integrates normalizing flows for individual time series with a Gaussian Mixture Copula to capture joint dependencies. Experiments indicate that CopFITi outperforms existing methods by decoupling marginals from the joint structure, establishing a new state-of-the-art in density modeling for this data type. AI
