Kendall's rank correlation coefficient and its inverse.
Usage
theta2tau(theta, type)
tau2theta(tau, type)
Arguments
theta
the dependency parameter. It can be either a scalar, a vector or a matrix and has to lie within a certain interval, i.e. \(\theta \in [1, \infty)\) for the Gumbel and Joe family, \(\theta \in (0, \infty)\) for the Clayton and Frank family and \(\theta \in [0, 1)\) for the Ali-Mikhail-Haq family.
tau
Kendall's rank correlation coefficient. It can be either a scalar, a vector or a matrix and it is to ensure, that \(\tau \in [0,1)\).
type
all types are available, see phi for an overview of implemented families.
# computation of the dependency parameterx = runif(10)
theta = tau2theta(x, type = 1)
# computation of kendall's tauy = runif(10, 1, 100)
tau = theta2tau(y, type = 1)
