pk.extst {ExtremalDep}R Documentation

Pickands dependence function for the Extremal Skew-$t$ model.

Description

Evaluates the bivariate and trivariate Pickands dependence function for the extremal skew-$t$ model.

Usage

	pk.extst(x, param)

Arguments

x

a vector of length 2 or 3 that belongs to the corresponding simplex.

param

the parameter vector, containing the dependence, shape and df parameters.

Details

In the bivariate case, there is 1 dependence parameter, 2 shape parameters and a degree of freedom. In the trivariate case, there is 3 dependence parameter, 3 shape parameters and a degree of freedom. Dependence parameters must be between -1 and 1, the degree of freedom must be positive.
