Abstract:
|
Recently, copulas have become increasingly popular in modelling the temporal dependence of a univariate nonlinear time series since they allow one to model and estimate the marginal distribution and dependence structure separately. Semi-parametric copula models are characterized by unspecified marginal distributions and parametric copula functions. Misspecification on parametric structures of copula functions may cause misleading statistical estimation and inference. In this talk, we propose a new test constructed via the contrast between "in-sample" and "out-of-sample" conditional pseudo-likelihoods. Under the null hypothesis that the copula model is correctly specified, we show that the proposed test statistic converges in probability to a constant equal to the dimension of the parameter space and establish the asymptotic normality for the test.
