Single-index copulas

Abstract: We introduce so-called single-index copulas. They are semi-parametric conditional copulas whose parameter is an unknown link function of a univariate index only. We propose estimates of this link function and of the finite-dimensional unknown parameter. The asymptotic properties of the latter estimates are stated. Thanks to some properties of conditional Kendall’s tau, we illustrate our technical conditions with several usual copula families.
