Chapter 1 An overview of the goodness - of - fit test problem for copulas
نویسنده
چکیده
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 particular cases, like convenient tests for time-dependent copulas, for Archimedean or extreme-value copulas, etc, are dealt with. Finally, the practical performances of the proposed approaches are briefly summarized.

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 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 کاملSimulation study on copulas
There are several theorical results about order statistics and copulas in the literature that have been mentioned also by Nelsen cite{p20}. The present study after reviewing some of these results, relies on simulation technique to investigate the mentioned results about order statistics and copulas. The study concentrates on two well known Archimedean Gumbel and Frank families in the case tha...
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 ...
متن کاملAn Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy
Different approaches to goodness of fit (GOF) testing are proposed. This survey intends to present the developments on Goodness of Fit based on entropy during the last 50 years, from the very first origins until the most recent advances for different data and models. Goodness of fit tests based on Shannon entropy was started by Vasicek in 1976 and were continued by many authors. In this paper, ...
