| contents | This work deals with estimation of the association parameter of a bivariate Frank Copula in a comprehensive way. Even though Frank Copula is a member of Archimedean class of copulas, and has been widely used in finance, relatively little attention has been paid to its association parameter from a statistical inferential point of view. Most of the existing works which have used Frank Copula have focused on estimating the parameter computationally, and then proceeded with its application in the applied fields, mostly in finance. Here, in this investigation, we have looked at the point estimation of the association parameter in a comprehensive manner, and studied three estimators in terms of bias, mean squared error (MSE), relative bias and relative MSE. It has been noted that in the neighborhood of zero, the method of moment estimators (MMEs) do perform well compared to the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), even though the latter has the best overall performance. Further, in terms of bias, MMEs and MLE have opposite behavior. However, some of our results do not match with those reported by Genest (1987) \cite{Genest1987}. Nevertheless, this study complements Genest's (1987)\cite{Genest1987} expository work, and provides some interesting insights into the behaviors of three point estimators including the MLE whose asymptotic behavior holds pretty well, as we have found, for $n\ge 75$. |
