Selection of Parametric Copula Models in the Approximation of Copulas Using Cramér-von Mises Divergence
摘要
In this chapter, we consider the approximation of sample copulas and propose a strategy for model selection of copulas obtained as an approximation. For this reason, we introduce the weighted Cramér von Mises divergence with regularization term. This term is added to prevent overfitting. The unknown copula parameters of interest are estimated by an approximate minimum-distance estimator. A consistency result and a theorem about the asymptotic normality of this estimator are provided. Furthermore, we establish tests for comparisons of several models, including a theorem about the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic.
