N4212cop: The Copula of Equation 4.2.12 of Nelson's Book

Description

The N4212 Copula is $$\mathbf{C}_{\Theta}(u,v) = (1 + [(u^{-1} -1)^\Theta + (v^{-1} -1)^\Theta]^{1/\Theta})^{-1}$$

The N4212 Copula is not comprehensive because $\Theta = 0$ the copula becomes $\mathbf{PSP}(u,v)$(PSP), as $\Theta \rightarrow \infty$ the copula becomes $\mathbf{M}(u,v)$ (M). The copula is undefined for $\Theta < 1$. The N4212 Copula has respective lower and upper tail dependency and the simCOP examples in this documentation will show.

Usage

N4212cop(u, v, para=NULL, infis=100, ...)

Arguments

u

A nonexceedance probability in X direction,

v

A nonexceedance probability in Y direction,

para

A vector (single element) of parameters---the $\Theta$ parameter,

infis

What is infinity? Testing shows that > 100 is about right to consider the copula as becoming $\mathbf{M}(u,v)$ (M), and

...

Additional arguments to pass.

Value

• The value for the copula is returned.
