Title: | Nonparametric testing for no covariate effects in conditional copulas | Authors: | Gijbels, Irene OMELKA, Marek VERAVERBEKE, Noel |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | STATISTICS, 51(3), p. 475-509 | Abstract: | In dependence modelling using conditional copulas, one often imposes the working assumption that the covariate influences the conditional copula solely through the marginal distributions. This so-called (pairwise) simplifying assumption is almost standardly made in vine copula constructions. However, in recent literature evidence was provided that such an assumption might not be justified. Among the first issues is thus to test for its appropriateness. In this paper nonparametric tests for the null hypothesis of the simplifying assumption are proposed, and their asymptotic behaviours, under the null hypothesis and under some local alternatives, are established. The tests are fully nonparametric in nature: not requiring choices of copula families nor knowledge of the marginals. In a simulation study, the finite-sample size and power performances of the tests are investigated, and compared with these of the few available tests. A real data application illustrates the use of the tests. | Notes: | [Gijbels, Irene] Katholieke Univ Leuven, Dept Math, Heverlee, Belgium.
