Tail Dependence of Skew t-Copulas
2017
ABSTRACTWe examine tail behavior of skew t-copula in the bivariate case. The tail dependence coefficient is calculated for different skewing parameter values and compared with the corresponding coefficient for the t-copula. It is shown that depending on skewing parameter values, the tail dependence coefficient can differ considerably from the tail dependence of the t-copula. The speed of convergence of the estimator of tail dependence coefficient to its theoretical value is examined in a simulation experiment. Method of moments and maximum likelihood method are compared by simulation either. In the considered cases, maximum likelihood method converged faster to the theoretical value.
