contents We consider multivariate extreme value statistics for independent but nonidentically distributed random vectors. In particular, the data may have varying tail copulas and also heteroscedastic marginal distributions. Assuming smoothly changing tail copulas, we propose a nonparametric estimator for the integrated tail copula and establish its asymptotic behavior. Notably, the heteroscedastic marginals do not affect the limiting processes. We use the main result for the integrated tail copula to test for a constant tail copula across all observations. Finally, a simulation study shows the good finite-sample behavior of our limit theorems as well as high power of the test.
