Spearman's rho of the AMH copula in dilogarithm form #
Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas, second edition, Example 5.7 (Table 4.1, family 4.2.3): for
0 < |θ| < 1
ρ_θ = 12 (1 + θ)/θ² · Li₂(θ) − 3 (θ + 12)/θ − 24 (1 − θ)/θ² · log (1 − θ),
where Li₂(x) = ∑ₙ xⁿ / n² is the dilogarithm (dilogSeries); in Nelsen's notation
Li₂(θ) = dilog(1 − θ) for dilog(x) = ∫₁ˣ log t/(1 − t) dt.
The proof uses the partial fraction decomposition
1 / ((k+1)² (k+2)²) = 1/(k+1)² + 1/(k+2)² − 2/(k+1) + 2/(k+2) in the series of
spearmanRho_amh and the power series of Li₂ and of −log (1 − x).
