PairCopulaFit

Estimating pair-copulas

---

Purpose

The function returns the ML-estimates for two-dimensional (i.e., pair-) copulas. Possible copula families:

       0   Indep
       1   AMH
       2   AsymFGM
       3   BB1
       4   BB6
       5   BB7
       6   BB8
       7   Clayton
       8   FGM
       9   Frank
       10  Gaussian
       11  Gumbel
       12  IteratedFGM
       13  Joe
       14  PartialFrank
       15  Plackett
       16  Tawn1
       17  Tawn2
       18  Tawn
       19  t

Usage

           ParamHat = PairCopulaFit(family,u1,u2)
       Rotated pair-copulas
           ParamHat = PairCopulaFit(family,u1,u2,rotation)

Inputs

   family    = The copula family.
   u1        = A (n x 1) dimensional vector of values lying in [0,1].
   u2        = A (n x 1) dimensional vector of values lying in [0,1].
   rotation  = The degree of rotation, i.e., either 90, 180 or 270. No
               rotation is achieved by letting the rotation argument
               empty or by choosing 0 rotation.

Outputs

   ParamHat  = The ML-estimate for the parameter vector.
