evTestK: Bivariate test of extreme-value dependence based on Kendall's process

Description

Test of extreme-value dependence based on the bivariate probability integral transformation. The test statistic is defined in Ben Ghorbal, Nešlehová and Genest (2009).

Usage

evTestK(x, method = c("fsample","asymptotic","jackknife"))

Arguments

x

a data matrix.

method

specifies the variance estimation method; can be either "fsample" (finite-sample, the default), "asymptotic" or "jackknife".

Value

• Returns a list whose attributes are:
• statistic
  value of the test statistic.
• pvalue
  corresponding p-value.

encoding

UTF-8

Details

The code for this test was generously provided by Johanna Nešlehová. More details are available in Appendix~B of Ben Ghorbal, Nešlehová and Genest (2009).
