Dolma rice based filling. Egyptians call this main course mahshi (also spelled mashi or mashy). It is stuffed vine leaves but traditionally, cabbage is used in the winter and vine leaves are used in the summer. According to Anthony Khatchaturian, a member of the Armenian community in Kolkata, India, the Bengali dish "potoler dorma" (stuffed gourd) was adapted from meat-stuffed vine leaves. "Mülebbes dolma" is a historic recipe from the Ottoman era. "Halep dolması"—named for Aleppo—is a dish of eggplants stuffed with a meat and rice filling that is flavored with spices and either sour plum flavoring syrup or lemon juice.
Vine copula Bayesian networks. In finance, vine copulas have been shown to effectively model tail risk in portfolio optimization applications. The first regular vine, avant la lettre, was introduced by Harry Joe. The motive was to extend parametric bivariate extreme value copula families to higher dimensions. To this end he introduced what would later be called the "D-vine". Joe was interested in a class of n-variate distributions with given one dimensional margins, and "n"("n" − 1) dependence parameters, whereby "n" − 1 parameters correspond to bivariate margins, and the others correspond to conditional bivariate margins. In the case of multivariate normal distributions,
