Application of Distance Covariance to Extremes and Time Series and Inference for Linear Preferential Attachment Networks

This thesis covers four topics: i) Measuring dependence in time series through distance covariance; ii) Testing goodness-of-fit of time series models; iii) Threshold selection for multivariate heavy-tailed data; and iv) Inference for linear preferential attachment networks. Topic i) studies a...
