Absolutely continuous copulas obtained by regularization of the Frechét–Hoeffding bounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the lower and upper Frechét-Hoeffding copulas, which are singular, can be regularized to absolutely continuous copulas. The method, which is constructive and explicit, states sufficient conditions for when an absolutely continuous copula can be achieved by averaging. A higher degree of regularisation cannot be achieved with the proposed method.

A note on "Generalized bivariate copulas and their properties"
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 distributions of order statistics for absolutely continuous copulas with applications to reliability
Performance of coherent reliability systems is strongly connected with distributions of order statistics of failure times of components. A crucial assumption here is that the distributions of possibly mutually dependent lifetimes of components are exchangeable and jointly absolutely continuous. Assuming absolute continuity of marginals, we focus on properties of respective copulas and character...
متن کاملAbsolutely continuous copulas with given sub-diagonal section
Recently, Durante and Jaworski (2008) [6] have proved that the class of absolutely continuous copulas with a given diagonal section is non-empty in case that the diagonal function is such that the set of points where this coincides with the identity function has null-measure. In this paper, we show that if we consider sub-diagonals (or super-diagonals), then the framework changes. Concretely, f...
متن کاملCharacterization of all copulas associated with non-continuous random variables
We introduce a constructive method, by using a doubly stochastic measure, to describe all the copulas that, in view of Sklar’s Theorem, are able to connect a bivariate distribution to its marginals. We use this to give the lower and upper optimal bounds for all the copulas that extend a given subcopula.
متن کاملBounds for Distribution Functions of Sums of Squares and Radial Errors
Bounds are found for the distribution function of the sum of squares X2+y2 where X and Y are arbitrary continuous random variables. The techniques employed, which utilize copulas and their properties, show that the bounds are pointwise best-possible when X and Y are symmetric about 0 and yield expressions which can be evaluated explicitly when X and Y have a common distribution function which i...
