- This paper presents a robust method for estimating copula models to evaluate dependence between failure modes in one-shot devices-systems designed for single use and destroyed upon activation. Traditional approaches, such as maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), often produce unreliable results when faced with outliers or model misspecification. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a divergence-based estimation technique that enhances robustness and provides a more reliable characterization of the joint failure-time distribution. Extensive simulation studies confirm the robustness of the proposed method. Additionally, we illustrate its practical utility through the analysis of a real-world dataset.
