Abstract
AbstractThe paper considers the problem of establishing data support for the simplifying assumption (SA) in a bivariate conditional copula model. It is known that SA greatly simplifies the inference for a conditional copula model, but standard tools and methods for testing SA in a Bayesian setting tend to not provide reliable results. After splitting the observed data into training and test sets, the method proposed will use a flexible Bayesian model fit to the training data to define tests based on randomization and standard asymptotic theory. Its performance is studied using simulated data. The paper’s supplementary material also discusses theoretical justification for the method and implementations in alternative models of interest, e.g. Gaussian, Logistic and Quantile regressions.KeywordsCalibration functionConditional copulaPermutationSimplifying assumption
