Nonparametric estimation of an extreme-value copula in arbitrary dimensions
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Inference on an extreme-value copula usually proceeds via its Pickands dependence function, which is a convex function on the unit simplex satisfying certain inequality constraints. In the setting of an iid random sample from a multivariate distribution with known margins and unknown extreme-value copula, an extension of the Cap'era`a-Foug`eres-Genest estimator was introduced by D. Zhang, M. T. Wells and L. Peng [Journal of Multivariate Analysis 99 (2008) 577-588]. The joint asymptotic distribution of the estimator as a random function on the simplex was not provided. Moreover, implementation of the estimator requires the choice of a number of weight functions on the simplex, the issue of their optimal selection being left unresolved. A new, simplified representation of the CFG-estimator combined with standard empirical process theory provides the means to uncover its asymptotic distribution in the space of continuous, real-valued functions on the simplex. Moreover, the ordinary least-squares estimator of the intercept in a certain linear regression model provides an adaptive version of the CFG-estimator whose asymptotic behavior is the same as if the variance-minimizing weight functions were used. As illustrated in a simulation study, the gain in efficiency can be quite sizeable.
