Robust Estimation of Copulas by Maximum Mean Discrepancy.
Package MMDCopula
This package implements the robust estimation procedure of copulas via maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), following the article Alquier, Chérief-Abdellatif, Derumigny, and Fermanian, J.D. (2022), Estimation of copulas via Maximum Mean Discrepancy. Journal of the American Statistical Association, doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.2024836.
