fgmCopula: Construction of a fgmCopula Class Object

Description

Constructs a multivariate multiparameter Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula class object with its corresponding parameters and dimension.

Usage

fgmCopula(param, dim = 2)

Arguments

param

a numeric vector specifying the parameter values.

dim

the dimension of the copula.

…

currently nothing.

Value

A Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula object of class "'>fgmCopula".

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
## a bivariate example
fgm.cop <- fgmCopula(1)
x <- rCopula(1000, fgm.cop)
cor(x, method = "kendall")
tau(fgm.cop)
cor(x, method = "spearman")
rho(fgm.cop)
persp  (fgm.cop, dCopula)
contour(fgm.cop, dCopula)

## a trivariate example with wrong parameter values
try(
 fgm2.cop <- fgmCopula(c(1,1,1,1), dim = 3)
) # Error: "Bad vector of parameters"

## a trivariate example with satisfactory parameter values
fgm2.cop <- fgmCopula(c(.2,-.2,-.4,.6), dim = 3)
fgm2.cop
# }
