tools:::Rd_package_description("VineCopula")
The package VineCopula is a continuation of the
package CDVine by U. Schepsmeier and E. C. Brechmann (see Brechmann
and Schepsmeier (2013)). It includes all functions implemented in CDVine for
the bivariate case (BiCop-functions).
Vine copulas are a flexible class of dependence models consisting of bivariate building blocks (see e.g., Aas et al., 2009). This package is primarily made for the statistical analysis of vine copula models. The package includes tools for parameter estimation, model selection, simulation, goodness-of-fit tests, and visualization. Tools for estimation, selection and exploratory data analysis of bivariate copula models are also provided.
