چکیده

This paper presents the impact of a class of transformations of copulas in their upper and lower multivariate tail dependence coefficients. In particular we focus on multivariate Archimedean copulas. In the first part of this paper, we calculate multivariate tail dependence coefficients when the generator of the considered copula exhibits some regular variation properties, and we investigate the behaviour of these coefficients in cases that are close to tail independence. This first part exploits previous works of Charpentier and Segers (2009) and extends some results of Juri and Wüthrich (2003) and De Luca and Rivieccio (2012). In the second part of the paper we analyse the impact in the upper and lower multivariate tail dependence coefficients of a large class of transformations of dependence structures. These results are based on the transformations exploited by Di Bernardino and Rullière (2013a) and Di Bernardino and Rullière (2013b). We extend some bivariate results of Durante et al. (2010) in a multivariate setting by calculating multivariate tail dependence coefficients for transformed copulas. We obtain new results under specific conditions involving regularly varying hazard rates of components of the transformation. In the third part, we show the utility of using transformed Archimedean copulas, as they permit to build Archimedean generators exhibiting any chosen couple of lower and upper tail dependence coefficients. Furthermore, using results in Larsson and Nešlehová (2011), we detail the extreme behaviour of the transformed radial part of Archimedean copulas. At last, we explain possible applications with Markov chains with specific dependence structure.

Tail order and intermediate tail dependence of multivariate copulas

In order to study copula families that have different tail patterns and tail asymmetry than multivariate Gaussian and t copulas, we introduce the concepts of tail order and tail order functions. These provide an integrated way to study both tail dependence and intermediate tail dependence. Some fundamental properties of tail order and tail order functions are obtained. For the multivariate Arch...

Simulating Exchangeable Multivariate Archimedean Copulas and its Applications

Multivariate exchangeable Archimedean copulas are one of the most popular classes of copulas that are used in actuarial science and finance for modelling risk dependencies and for using them to quantify the magnitude of tail dependence. Owing to the increase in popularity of copulas to measure dependent risks, generating multivariate copulas has become a very crucial exercise. Current methods f...

No. 2006–29 LOWER TAIL DEPENDENCE FOR ARCHIMEDEAN COPULAS: CHARACTERIZATIONS AND PITFALLS

Tail dependence copulas provide a natural perspective from which one can study the dependence in the tail of a multivariate distribution. For Archimedean copulas with continuously differentiable generators, regular variation of the generator near the origin is known to be closely connected to convergence of the corresponding lower tail dependence copulas to the Clayton copula. In this paper, th...

A note on upper-patched generators for Archimedean copulas

The class of multivariate Archimedean copulas is defined by using a realvalued function called the generator of the copula. This generator satisfies some properties, including d-monotonicity. We propose here a new basic transformation of this generator, preserving these properties, thus ensuring the validity of the transformed generator and inducing a proper valid copula. This transformation ac...

Tail Dependence of Multivariate Pareto Distributions

Various multivariate Pareto distributions are known to exhibit the heavy tail behaviors. This paper examines the tail dependence properties of a general class of multivariate Pareto distributions with the Pareto index and some common scale parameters. The multivariate tail dependence describes the amount of dependence in the upper-orthant tail or lower-orthant tail of a multivariate distributio...
