Abstract
We present a procedure for clustering time series according to their tail dependence behaviour as measured via a suitable copula-based tail coefficient, estimated in a non-parametric way. Simulation results about the proposed methodology together with an application to financial data are presented showing the usefulness of the proposed approach.
