AsymVarGumbel function

Asymptotic variance matrix for the Gumbel model.

Asymptotic variance matrix for the Gumbel model.

Computes the asymptotic variance matrix for the Gumbel model, estimated using the pairwise M-estimator or the weighted least squares estimator.

AsymVarGumbel(indices, par, method)

Arguments

  • indices: A qq x dd matrix containing at least 2 non-zero elements per row, representing the values in which we will evaluate the stable tail dependence function. For method = Mestimator, this matrix should contain exactly two ones per row.
  • par: The parameter of the Gumbel model.
  • method: Choose between "Mestimator" and "WLS".

Returns

A q by q matrix.

Details

The matrix indices can be either user defines or returned by selectGrid. For method = "Mestimator", only a grid with exactly two ones per row is accepted, representing the pairs to be used.

Examples

indices <- selectGrid(c(0,1), d = 3, nonzero = c(2,3)) AsymVarGumbel(indices, par = 0.7, method = "WLS")
