Abstract

A bivariate copula is the cumulative distribution function of a pair (U, V ) of uniform random variables. This copula is said to be symmetric if and only if (V, U) and (U, V ) have the same distribution. Many standard bivariate parametric families of copulas have this property; Archimedean and meta-elliptical copulas are prime examples. In practice, however, dependence is often asymmetric. This paper revisits key aspects of this issue from a modeling perspective. Measures of asymmetry and rank-based estimators thereof are discussed, along with recently proposed tests of symmetry. Several techniques for the construction of asymmetric dependence structures are critically reviewed. A hydrological data set is used for illustration purposes.
