Multivariate Dependence Modeling with Copulas

Description

The copula package provides (S4) classes of commonly used elliptical, (nested) Archimedean, extreme value and other copula families; methods for density, distribution, random number generation, and plots.

Fitting copula models and goodness-of-fit tests. Independence and serial (univariate and multivariate) independence tests, and other copula related tests.

Description: Classes (S4) of commonly used elliptical, Archimedean, extreme-value and other copula families, as well as their rotations, mixtures and asymmetrizations. Nested Archimedean copulas, related tools and special functions. Methods for density, distribution, random number generation, bivariate dependence measures, Rosenblatt transform, Kendall distribution function, perspective and contour plots. Fitting of copula models with potentially partly fixed parameters, including standard errors. Serial independence tests, copula specification tests (independence, exchangeability, radial symmetry, extreme-value dependence, goodness-of-fit) and model selection based on cross-validation. Empirical copula, smoothed versions, and non-parametric estimators of the Pickands dependence function.
