Improved kernel estimation of copulas: Weak convergence and goodness-of-fit testing
Improved kernel estimation of copulas: Weak convergence and goodness-of-fit testing
We reconsider the existing kernel estimators for a copula function, as proposed in Gijbels and Mielniczuk [Comm. Statist. Theory Methods 19 (1990) 445–464], Fermanian, Radulovič and Wegkamp [Bernoulli 10 (2004) 847–860] and Chen and Huang [Canad. J. Statist. 35 (2007) 265–282]. All of these estimators have as a drawback that …
