We propose a unified framework for testing a variety of assumptions commonly made about the structure of copulas, including symmetry, radial symmetry, joint symmetry, associativity and Archimedeanity, and max-stability. Our test is nonparametric and based on the asymptotic distribution of the...

There is an increasing wealth of multivariate spatial and multivariate spatio-temporal data appearing. For such data, an important part of model building is an assessment of the properties of the underlying covariance function describing variable, spatial and temporal correlations. In this...
