Nonparametric estimation of the tail-dependence coefficient

A common measure of tail dependence is the so-called tail-dependence coefficient. We present a nonparametric estimator of the tail-dependence coefficient and prove its strong consistency and asymptotic normality in the case of known marginal distribution functions. The finite-sample behavior as well...
