PairCopulaIndepTest

Testing on the independence pair-copula


Purpose

The function performes the bivariate independence test for copula data of Genest and Favre (2007).

Usage

   [pValue,TestStat] = PairCopulaIndepTest(u1,u2)

Inputs

   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].

Outputs

  pValue             = The p-value for the independence test.
  TestStat           = The value of the test statistic.
