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{Neslehova} 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.
• p.value
  corresponding p-value.

Details

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