Abstract

Given a d-dimensional random vector X = (X-1, ..., X-d), if the standard uniform vector U obtained by the component-wise probability integral transform (PIT) of X has the same distribution of its point reflection through the center of the unit hypercube, then Xis said to have copula radial symmetry. We generalize to higher dimensions the bivariate test introduced in [11], using three different possibilities for estimating copula derivatives under the null. In a comprehensive simulation study, we assess the finite-sample properties of the resulting tests, comparing them with the finite-sample performance of the multivariate competitors introduced in [17] and [1].
