4 atdf<br />

taildep: Estimate chi <strong>and</strong>/or chibar; statistics that inform about tail dependence between two<br />

variables.<br />

atdf: Auto-tail dependence function <strong>and</strong> plot. Helps to inform about possible dependence in the<br />

extremes of a process. Note that a process that is highly correlated may or may not be dependent in<br />

the extremes.<br />

decluster: Decluster threshold exceedance in a data set to yield a new related process that is more<br />

closely independent in the extremes. Includes two methods for declustering both of which <strong>are</strong> based<br />

on runs declustering.<br />

extremalindex: Estimate the extremal index, a measure of dependence in the extremes. Two<br />

methods <strong>are</strong> available, one based on runs declustering <strong>and</strong> the other is the intervals estiamte of<br />

Ferro <strong>and</strong> Segers (2003).<br />

devd, pevd, qevd, revd: Functions for finding the density, cumulative probability distribution<br />

(cdf), quantiles <strong>and</strong> make r<strong>and</strong>om draws from EVDs.<br />

pextRemes, rextRemes, return.level: Functions for finding the cdf, make r<strong>and</strong>om draws from,<br />

<strong>and</strong> find return levels for fitted EVDs.<br />

Auto-Tail Dependence Function<br />

Description<br />

Computes (<strong>and</strong> by default plots) estimates of the auto-tail dependence function(s) (atdf) based on<br />

either chi (rho) or chibar (rhobar), or both.
