lambda_L = lim_{u->0+} C(u,u) / u. The lower tail of (X, Y) is the upper tail of (-X, -Y), so the estimator is Coles' chi(u) applied to the reflected sample; no second estimator is written. For a radially symmetric dependence structure the two coefficients coincide, which is the anchor used in the tests.

Usage

Tldepl(y, copula, theta = 0.95)

Arguments

y

Numeric vector, first margin.

copula

Numeric vector, second margin (equal length).

theta

Threshold in (0, 1), default 0.95.

Value

List with estimate, u, n, method.
