R help - Jan 2012 - empirical copula, copula package gof Test

Hi everybody,

I know that a similiar topic has been posted, but as my question differs I
am opening a new topic. I am trying to follow how the godness of fit test
for copulas in the copula package works. Therefore I wrote a function to
caculate the empirical copula, whose results are necessary to derive the
test statistics. In a next step I compare the test statistic with the one
derived through the copula package. My problem is that the results differ
and the only source for the difference can be within the empirical copula
function. In the code of the package the empirical copula function is
written in C. As I am not familiar with C I can not find out where my
possible mistake is. Is there maybe anyone familiar with C who can take a
look at these functions and tell me weather I am doing the same or something
different?

Here is my code:

fkt.Cemp = function(U,V){

C.emp = numeric(dim(U)[1])

for(i in 1:dim(U)[1]){

A = numeric(dim(U)[1])

for(j in 1:dim(U)[1]){
A[j] <- as.numeric(U[j,1] <= V[i,1] & U[j,2] <= V[i,2])
}

C.emp[i] = sum(A)/(dim(U)[1])
}
return(C.emp)
}


and here is the C code:

double empcop(int n, int p, double *U, double *V, int m, int k)
{
  int i,j, ind;
  double ec = 0.0;
  
  for (i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
      ind = 1;
      for (j=0;j<p;j++)
	ind *= (U[i + n * j] <= V[k + m * j]);
      ec += (double)ind;
    }
  return ec/(double)n;
}


Thank you!
