A goodness of fit test for copulas based on Rosenblatt's transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A goodness of fit test for copulas based on Rosenblatt’s transformation is investigated. This test performs well if the marginal distribution functions are known and are used in the test statistic. If the marginal distribution functions are unknown and are replaced by their empirical estimates, then the test’s properties change significantly. This is shown in detail by simulation for special cases. A bootstrap version of the test is suggested and it is shown by simulation that it performs well. An empirical application of this test to daily returns of German assets reveals that a Gaussian copula is unsuitable to describe their dependence structure. A t -copula with low degrees of freedom such as = 4 or 5 fits the data in some cases. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Goodness-of-fit tests for Archimedean copulas in large dimensions
A goodness-of-fit test for exchangeable Archimedean copulas is presented. In a large-scale simulation study it is shown that the test performs well according to the error probability of the first kind and the power under several alternatives, especially in large dimensions. The proposed test is compared to other known tests for Archimedean copulas. In contrast to the latter, the former is simpl...
متن کاملChapter 1 An overview of the goodness - of - fit test problem for copulas
We review the main “omnibus procedures” for goodness-of-fit testing for copulas: tests based on the empirical copula process, on probability integral transformations, on Kendall’s dependence function, etc, and some corresponding reductions of dimension techniques. The problems of finding asymptotic distribution-free test statistics and the calculation of reliable p-values are discussed. Some pa...
متن کاملUniversal Residuals: A Multivariate Transformation.
Rosenblatt's transformation has been used extensively for evaluation of model goodness-of-fit, but it only applies to models whose joint distribution is continuous. In this paper we generalize the transformation so that it applies to arbitrary probability models. The transformation is simple, but has a wide range of possible applications, providing a tool for exploratory data analysis and forma...
متن کاملA goodness-of-fit test for multivariate multiparameter copulas based on multiplier central limit theorems
Recent large scale simulations indicate that a powerful goodness-of-fit test for copulas can be obtained from the process comparing the empirical copula with a parametric estimate of the copula derived under the null hypothesis. A first way to compute approximate p-values for statistics derived from this process consists of using the parametric bootstrap procedure recently thoroughly revisited ...
متن کاملGoodness-of-fit test for copulas
Copulas are often used in finance to characterize the dependence between assets. However, a choice of the functional form for the copula is an open question in the literature. This paper develops a goodness-of-fit test for copulas based on positive definite bilinear forms. The suggested test avoids the use of plug-in estimators that is the common practice in the literature. The test statistics ...
