spatialTailDep (version 1.0.2)

tailIntEmp: Function tailIntEmp

Description

Integral of the bivariate empirical stable tail dependence function over the unit square.

Usage

tailIntEmp(ranks, n = nrow(ranks), k)

Arguments

ranks

A n x 2 matrix, where each column is a permutation of the integers 1:n, representing the ranks computed from a sample of size n.

n

The sample size. If not specified, it is computed as the number of rows of the matrix ranks.

k

The threshold parameter in the definition of the empirical stable tail dependence function. An integer between 1 and n-1.

Value

A scalar.

Details

This is an analytic implementation of the integral of the stable tail dependence function, which is much faster than numerical integration. See Einmahl et al. (2014) for a definition of the empirical stable tail dependence function.
