In this paper, we extend copula-based univariate time series models studied in Chen & Fan (2006) to multivariate time series. Doing so, we tackle at the same time serial dependence as well as interdependence between several time series. The proposed methodology is totally different from the...

This paper considers estimation of semi-nonparametric GARCH filtered copula models in which the individual time series are modelled by semi-nonparametric GARCH and the joint distributions of the multivariate standardized innovations are characterized by parametric copulas with nonparametric...

This paper generalizes the locally optimal linear rank test based on copula from Shirahata (1974) resp. Guillén and Isabel (1998) and Genest et al. (2006) to p dimensions and introduces a new X2-type test for global independence (Nelsen test). The test is compared to similar nonparametric tests...

In this paper I investigate the problem of defining a multivariate dependence ordering. First, I provide a characterization of the concordance dependence ordering between multivariate random vectors with fixed margins. Central to the characterization is a multivariate generalization of a...
