Query: A class of smooth, possibly data-adaptive nonparametric copula
  estimators containing the empirical beta copula   A broad class of smooth, possibly data-adaptive nonparametric copula
estimators that contains empirical Bernstein copulas introduced by Sancetta and
Satchell (and thus the empirical beta copula proposed by Segers, Sibuya and
Tsukahara) is studied. Within this class, a subclass of estimators that depend
on a scalar parameter determining the amount of marginal smoothing and a
functional parameter controlling the shape of the smoothing region is
specifically considered. Empirical investigations of the influence of these
parameters suggest to focus on two particular data-adaptive smooth copula
estimators that were found to be uniformly better than the empirical beta
copula in all of the considered Monte Carlo experiments. Finally, with future
applications to change-point detection in mind, conditions under which related
sequential empirical copula processes converge weakly are provided.
