Estimation and Inference for Conditional Copula Models
Overview
Provides functions for the estimation of conditional copulas models, various estimators of conditional Kendall's tau (proposed in Derumigny and Fermanian (2019a, 2019b, 2020) doi:10.1515/demo-2019-0016, doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.01.013, doi:10.1016/j.jmva.2020.104610), test procedures for the simplifying assumption (proposed in Derumigny and Fermanian (2017) doi:10.1515/demo-2017-0011 and Derumigny, Fermanian and Min (2022) doi:10.1002/cjs.11742), and measures of non-simplifyingness (proposed in Derumigny (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2504.07704).
New features
- New function
measures_nonsimplifyingness_NPfor the estimation of the
non-parametric measures of non-simplifyingness for conditional copulas,
introduced in arXiv:2504.07704.
- Add more explicit warnings in
estimateNPCondCopulawhen the bandwidthh
is too small. This should reduce the total number of warnings there when using
too small bandwidth. The previous behavior was the following: there would be 1
warning per value of X3 such that the total sum of kernel-based weights is 0.
The new behavior is the following: there is 1 warning per call of
estimateNPCondCopula.
- Inputs
ZandnewZtoCKT.kernelcan be of classdata.frame, provided
that all the entries are numeric (and that the dimensions match).
Show all changes in 0.2.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.2.0
- Add option
warnNA = FALSEtoCKT.kernelfor not raising warnings if some
of the estimated conditional Kendall's tau are NAs. The corresponding warning
has also been improved and is more explicit about the number of NAs produced,
in particular, if the input already contained NAs.
CKT.kernelnow returns anS3object of classestimated_CKT_kernelwith
se, confint and plot methods.
- In case of cross-validation,
CKT.kernelalso returns the result of the
corresponding function (CKT.hCV.l1out or CKT.hCV.Kfolds).
- New option
nPairs = "all"inCKT.hCV.l1outto use all possible pairs.
Also available in CKT.kernel if CKT.hCV.l1out is chosen as the
cross-validation method.
- New S3 generic
sefor the standard errors. Currently only used for objects
returned by simpA.kendallReg and CKT.kernel.
Bug fixes
- In
simpA.NPandsimpA.param, the parametertruncValused to have no
effect (contrary to what was written in the documentation). It is now taken into
account. Also it is now checked that this parameter belongs to the interval
[0, 1/2) so that the integration interval is not empty.
- In
simpA.NPandsimpA.param, the weights involved in the Gaussian
quadrature have been fixed to correspond to the correct integration interval.
- Fix a bug in
simpA.NPfor computation of the integration-based test
statistics T1_CvM_Cs3, T1_CvM_Cs4, tilde_T0_CvM, which were incorrect of a
constant factor. P-values were unaffected by this bug, as the constant factor
was also present in the bootstrap test statistic.
- Some errors occurring in
CKT.kernelwith a multivariateZand small
bandwidth have been fixed.
- Fix bug in computation of the standard errors in
simpA.kendallReg. This
affected also the corresponding p-values of each estimated coefficients
(but not the p-value of the Wald-type test which are computed in another way).
