Convergence rate to a lower tail dependence coefficient of a skew-t distribution

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We examine the rate of decay to the limit of the tail dependence coefficient of a bivariate skew t distribution which always displays asymptotic tail dependence. It contains as a special case the usual bivariate symmetric t distribution, and hence is an appropriate (skew) extension. The rate is asymptotically power-law. The second-order structure of the univariate quantile function for such a skew-t distribution is a central issue.
