Kendall's tau of the Ali–Mikhail–Haq family #
For the Ali–Mikhail–Haq family (Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas, second edition,
family 4.2.3), -1 ≤ θ < 1, θ ≠ 0,
τ = 1 − 2 (θ + (1 − θ)² log(1 − θ)) / (3 θ²) (kendallTau_amh; Nelsen, Section 5.1.1).
The inverse generator ψ(s) = (1 − θ) / (eˢ − θ) is strict and smooth
(isC1_amhGenerator). With w = 1 − θ + θ t, the Kendall integrand is
φ(t)/φ'(t) = −t w (log w − log t) / (1 − θ), which is integrated with an explicit
antiderivative. For θ = 0 the family is the independence copula (amh_zero), with τ = 0.
