BiCopPar2Tau: Kendall's tau value of a bivariate copula

Description

This function computes the theoretical Kendall's tau value of a bivariate copula for given parameter values.

Usage

BiCopPar2Tau(family, par, par2=0)

Arguments

family

An integer defining the bivariate copula family: 0 = independence copula 1 = Gaussian copula 2 = Student t copula (t-copula) 3 = Clayton copula 4 = Gumbel copula 5 = Frank

par

Copula parameter.

par2

Second parameter for the two parameter BB1, BB6, BB7 and BB8 copulas (default: par2 = 0). Note that the degrees of freedom parameter of the t-copula does not need to be set, because the theoretical Kendall's tau value of the t-copul
