Résumé:
The class of multivariate Archimedean copulas is defined by using a realvalued
function called the generator of the copula. This generator satisfies some properties,
including d-monotonicity. We propose here a new basic transformation of this
generator, preserving these properties, thus ensuring the validity of the transformed generator
and inducing a proper valid copula. This transformation acts only on a specific
portion of the generator, it allows both the non-reduction of the likelihood on a given
dataset, and the choice of the upper tail dependence coefficient of the transformed copula.
Numerical illustrations show the utility of this construction, which can improve the
fit of a given copula both on its central part and its tail.
