surfuncCOP: The Joint Survival Function

Description

Compute the joint survival function for a copula (Nelsen, 2006, p. 33), which is defined as $$\overline{\mathbf{C}}(u,v) = \mathrm{Pr}[U > u, V > v] = 1 - u - v + \mathbf{C}(u,v) = \hat{\mathbf{C}}(1-u, 1-v)\mbox{,}$$ where \(\hat{\mathbf{C}}(u',v')\) is the survival copula (surCOP), which is defined by $$\hat{\mathbf{C}}(u',v') = \mathrm{Pr}[U > u, V > v] = u' + v' - 1 + \mathbf{C}(1-u',1-v')\mbox{.}$$

Although the joint survival function is an expression of the probability that both \(U > v\) and \(U > v\), \(\overline{\mathbf{C}}(u,v)\) is not a copula.

Usage

surfuncCOP(u, v, cop=NULL, para=NULL, ...)

Value

Value(s) for the joint survival function are returned.

Arguments

u

Nonexceedance probability \(u\) in the \(X\) direction;

v

Nonexceedance probability \(v\) in the \(Y\) direction;

cop

A copula function;

para

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

...

Additional arguments to pass (such as parameters, if needed, for the copula in the form of a list.
