VGAM (version 1.0-5)

Biplackett: Plackett's Bivariate Copula

Description

Density, distribution function, and random generation for the (one parameter) bivariate Plackett copula.

Usage

dbiplackcop(x1, x2, oratio, log = FALSE)
pbiplackcop(q1, q2, oratio)
rbiplackcop(n, oratio)

Arguments

x1, x2, q1, q2

vector of quantiles.

n

number of observations. Same as in runif.

oratio

the positive odds ratio $\psi$.

log

Logical. If TRUE then the logarithm is returned.

Value

dbiplackcop gives the density, pbiplackcop gives the distribution function, and rbiplackcop generates random deviates (a two-column matrix).

Details

See biplackettcop, the VGAM family functions for estimating the parameter by maximum likelihood estimation, for the formula of the cumulative distribution function and other details.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
 N <- 101; oratio <- exp(1)
x <- seq(0.0, 1.0, len = N)
ox <- expand.grid(x, x)
zedd <- dbiplackcop(ox[, 1], ox[, 2], oratio = oratio)
contour(x, x, matrix(zedd, N, N), col = "blue")
zedd <- pbiplackcop(ox[, 1], ox[, 2], oratio = oratio)
contour(x, x, matrix(zedd, N, N), col = "blue")

plot(rr <- rbiplackcop(n = 3000, oratio = oratio))
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
hist(rr[, 1])  # Should be uniform
hist(rr[, 2])  # Should be uniform
# }
