kfuncCOPinv: The Inverse Kendall Function of a Copula

Description

Compute the (numerical) inverse \(F^{(-1)}_K(z) \equiv z(F_K)\) of the Kendall Function \(F_K(z; \mathbf{C})\) (kfuncCOP) of a copula \(\mathbf{C}(u,v)\) given nonexceedance probability \(F_K\). The \(z\) is the joint probability of the random variables \(U\) and \(V\) coupled to each other through the copula \(\mathbf{C}(u,v)\) and the nonexceedance probability of the probability \(z\) is \(F_K\)---statements such as “probabilities of probabilities” are rhetorically complex so pursuit of word precision is made herein.

Usage

kfuncCOPinv(f, cop=NULL, para=NULL, subdivisions=100L,
               rel.tol=.Machine$double.eps^0.25, abs.tol=rel.tol, ...)

Value

The value(s) for \(z(F_K)\) are returned.

Arguments

f

Nonexceedance probability \((0 \le F_K \le 1)\);

cop

A copula function;

para

Vector of parameters or other data structure, if needed, to pass to the copula;

subdivisions

Argument of same name passed to integrate() through kfuncCOP,

rel.tol

Argument of same name passed to integrate() through kfuncCOP,

abs.tol

Argument of same name passed to integrate() through kfuncCOP, and

...

Additional arguments to pass.
