“…In this latter case, recent studies have underlined that classical correlation measures are often inadequate to capture the actual dependence structure between individual risk factors, especially in a financial and environmental context (see, among others, Embrechts et al, 2002;Poulin et al, 2007;Salvadori and De Michele, 2010;Salvadori and De Michele, 2011). As such, several investigations have been carried out exploiting tools from extremevalue analysis (see, for instance, De Luca and Zuccolotto, 2011;Durante et al, 2014Durante et al, , 2015Mornet et al, 2016). Within the class of model-based clustering methods, copula-based algorithms (see, e.g., Di Lascio et al, 2017, and references therein) use the copula information to derive the specific criterion that determines the clustering composition.…”
