In recent joint papers with B. Schweizer, we used the notion of a copula to introduce a family of symmetric, nonparametric measures of dependence of two random variables. Here, we present n-dimensional extensions of these measures and of Spearman's ro. We study them vis-a-vis appropriate higher dimensional analogues of Rényi's axioms for measures of dependence, determine relations among them, and in some cases establish reduction formulae for their computation.
We construct new multivariate copulas on the basis of a generalized infinite partition-of-unity approach. This approach allows, in contrast to finite partition-of-unity copulas, for tail-dependence as well as for asymmetry. A possibility of fitting such copulas to real data from quantitative risk management is also pointed out.
