We present a non-parametric tail dependence estimator which arises naturally from a specific regression model. Above that, this tail dependence estimator also results from a specific copula mixture. -- Upper tail dependence ; nonparametric estimation ; copula

We present a new family of copulas ("generalized mean copulas") which is positive comprehensive and allows for upper tail dependence. It includes the Spearman copula and a specific Fréchet copula as special cases. Some properties and a generalized tail dependence estimator are derived. Finally,...
