Existing methods pose numerous difficulties and none is entirely satisfactory. We propose a Bayesian method to select the most probable copula family among a given set. The copula parameters are treated as nuisance variables, and hence do not have to be estimated. Furthermore, by a parameterization of the copula density in terms of Kendall's τ, the prior on the parameter is replaced by a prior on τ, conceptually more meaningful. The prior on τ, common to all families in the set of tested copulas, serves as a basis for their comparison. Using simulated data sets, we study the reliability of the method and observe the following: (1) the frequency of successful identification approaches 100% as the sample size increases, (2) for weakly correlated variables, larger samples are necessary for reliable identification. <br/> </p><p><br/></p>
