Semiparametric estimation of conditional copulas Hasselt University KU Leuven
The manner in which two random variables influence one another often depends on covariates. A way to model this dependence is via a conditional copula function. This paper contributes to the study of semiparametric estimation of conditional copulas by starting from a parametric copula function in which the parameter varies with a covariate, and leaving the marginals unspecified. Consequently, the unknown parts in the model are the parameter ...
