This paper generalizes the locally optimal linear rank test based on copula from Shirahata (1974) resp. Guillén and Isabel (1998) and Genest et al. (2006) to p dimensions and introduces a new X2-type test for global independence (Nelsen test). The test is compared to similar nonparametric tests...

This paper concerns goodness-of-fit test for semiparametric copula models. Our contribution is two-fold: we first propose a new test constructed via the comparison between "in-sample" and "out-of-sample" pseudolikelihoods, which avoids the use of any probability integral transformations. Under...
