We have seen extreme value copulas in the section where we did consider general families of copulas. In the bivariate case, an extreme value can be writtenwhere is Pickands dependence function, which is a convex function satisfyingObserve that in ... [Read more...]

Copulas and tail dependence, part 1

September 17, 2012 | arthur charpentier

As mentioned in the course last week Venter (2003) suggested nice functions to illustrate tail dependence (see also some slides used in Berlin a few years ago). Joe (1990)'s lambda Joe (1990) suggested a (strong) tail dependence index. For lower t... [Read more...]
