Kendall’s tau and agglomerative clustering for structure determination of hierarchical Archimedean copulas

Several successful approaches to structure determination of hierarchical Archimedean copulas (HACs) proposed in the literature rely on agglomerative clustering and Kendall’s correlation coefficient. However, there has not been presented any theoretical proof justifying such approaches. This work fil...
