Nonparametric Estimation of the Tail-dependence Coefficient
نویسنده
چکیده
• A common measure of tail dependence is the so-called tail-dependence coefficient. We present a nonparametric estimator of the tail-dependence coefficient and prove its strong consistency and asymptotic normality in the case of known marginal distribution functions. The finite-sample behavior as well as robustness will be assessed through simulation. Although it has a good performance, it is sensitive to the extreme value dependence assumption. We shall see that a block maxima procedure might improve the estimation. This will be illustrated through simulation. An application to financial data shall be presented at the end.

A note on nonparametric estimation of bivariate tail dependence
Nonparametric estimation of tail dependence can be based on a standardization of the marginals if their cumulative distribution functions are known. In this paper it is shown to be asymptotically more efficient if the additional knowledge of the marginals is ignored and estimators are based on ranks. The discrepancy between the two estimators is shown to be substantial for the popular Clayton m...
متن کاملNonparametric quantile regression with heavy-tailed and strongly dependent errors
We consider nonparametric estimation of the conditional qth quantile for stationary time series. We deal with stationary time series with strong time dependence and heavy tails under the setting of random design. We estimate the conditional qth quantile by local linear regression and investigate the asymptotic properties. It is shown that the asymptotic properties are affected by both the time ...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of the conditional tail copula
The tail copula is widely used to describe the dependence in the tail of multivariate distributions. In some situations such as risk management, the dependence structure may be linked with some covariate. The tail copula thus depends on this covariate and is referred to as the conditional tail copula. The aim of this paper is to propose a nonparametric estimator of the conditional tail copula a...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of tail dependence
Dependencies of extreme events (extremal dependencies) are attracting an increasing attention in modern risk management. In practice, the concept of tail dependence represents the current standard to describe the amount of extremal dependence. In theory, multivariate extreme-value theory (EVT) turns out to be the natural choice to model the latter dependencies. The present paper embeds tail dep...
متن کاملCredit Risk Modelling and Estimation via Elliptical Copulae
Dependence modelling plays a crucial role within internal credit risk models. The theory of copulae, which describes the dependence structure between a multi-dimensional distribution function and the corresponding marginal distributions, provides useful tools for dependence modelling. The difficulty in employing copulae for internal credit risk models arises from the appropriate choice of a cop...
