Enjoy the Joy of Copulas
نویسنده
چکیده
Copulas have become a popular tool in multivariate modeling successfully applied in many fields. A good open-source implementation of copulas is much needed for more practitioners to enjoy the joy of copulas. This article presents the design, features, and some implementation details of the R package copula. The package provides a carefully designed and easily extensible platform for multivariate modeling with copulas in R. S4 classes for most frequently used elliptical copulas and Archimedean copulas are implemented, with methods for density/distribution evaluation, random number generation, and graphical display. Fitting copula-based models with maximum likelihood method is provided as template examples. With the classes and methods in the package, users can easily extend the package can be easily extended by user-defined copulas and margins to solve problems.

متن کاملSome Results on a Generalized Archimedean Family of Copulas
Durante et al. (2007) introduced a class of bivariate copulas depending on two generators which generalizes some known families such as the Archimedean copulas. In this paper we provide some result on properties of this family when the generators are certain univariate survival functions.

In 2004, Rodr'{i}guez-Lallena and '{U}beda-Flores have introduced a class of bivariate copulas which generalizes some known families such as the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distributions. In 2006, Dolati and '{U}beda-Flores presented multivariate generalizations of this class. Then in 2011, Kim et al. generalized Rodr'{i}guez-Lallena and '{U}beda-Flores' study to any given copula family. But ther...
متن کاملOn Generators in Archimedean Copulas
This study after reviewing construction methods of generators in Archimedean copulas (AC), proposes several useful lemmas related with generators of AC. Then a new trigonometric Archimedean family will be shown which is based on cotangent function. The generated new family is able to model the low dependence structures.

There are several theorical results about order statistics and copulas in the literature that have been mentioned also by Nelsen cite{p20}. The present study after reviewing some of these results, relies on simulation technique to investigate the mentioned results about order statistics and copulas. The study concentrates on two well known Archimedean Gumbel and Frank families in the case tha...
