Zhang (2008) defines the quotient correlation coefficient to test for dependence and tail dependence of bivariate random samples. He shows that asymptotically the test statistics are gamma distributed. Therefore, he called the corresponding test gamma test. We want to investigate the speed of...

The serial dependency of multivariate nancial data will often be ltered by con-sidering the residuals of univariate GARCH models adapted to every single series.This is the correct ltering strategy if the multivariate process follows a so-calledcopula based multivariate dynamic model (CMD). These...

The serial dependency of multivariate financial data will often be filtered by considering the residuals of univariate GARCH models adapted to every single series. This is the correct filtering strategy if the multivariate process follows a so-called copula based multivariate dynamic model...

In this article, consistency and asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) in the class of polynomial augmented generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models (GARCH) is proven. The result extends the results of the standard GARCH model to the class...

We generalize the score test for time-varying copula parameters proposed by [Abegaz & Naik-Nimbalkar, 2008] to a setting where more than one-parametric copulas can be tested for time variation in at least one parameter. In a next step we model the daily log returns of the Commerzbank stock using...

We generalize the results for statistical functionals given by [Fernholz, 1983] and [Serfling, 1980] to M estimates for samples drawn for an ergodic and stationary martingale sequence. In a first step, we take advantage of some recent results on the uniform convergency of the empirical...

We proof that Hadamard differentiability in addition with usual assumptions on the loss function for M estimates implies differentiability in quadratic mean. Thus both concepts are exchangeable.
