Title: A Goodness-of-Fit Test for Copula Models
Author(s): Antai Wang*+
Companies: Georgetown University
Address: 6036 Richmond Hwy., Unit 602, Alexandria, VA, 22303,
Keywords: goodness-of-fit ; Archimedean copula models ; survival data
Abstract:

I propose a goodness of fit test for Archimedean copula models for bivariate data. Based on an interesting result for the conditional distribution of $V=S(T_{1},T_{2})$ given the censoring patterns, I extend the proposed goodness-of-fit test procedure from the uncensored data to censored data. Simulation studies have shown that the test works quite well. Some illustrative examples will be presented.
