tailDepFun (version 1.0.1)

AsymVarGumbel: Asymptotic variance matrix for the Gumbel model.

Description

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

Usage

AsymVarGumbel(indices, par, method)

Arguments

indices

A \(q\) x \(d\) 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".

Value

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.
