Spearman's rho of the AMH copula at the endpoints of the parameter range #
By spearmanRho_amh, ρ_θ = 12 ∑ₖ θᵏ / ((k+1)² (k+2)²) − 3 for |θ| ≤ 1. Using the partial
fraction decomposition
1 / ((k+1)² (k+2)²) = 1/(k+1)² + 1/(k+2)² − 2 / ((k+1)(k+2))
we evaluate the series at the two endpoints (Nelsen, Example 5.7):
θ = 1:ρ = 4 π² − 39 ≈ 0.4784, using∑ 1/n² = π²/6(hasSum_zeta_two);θ = −1:ρ = 33 − 48 log 2 ≈ −0.2711, the minimum ofρover the AMH family, using the integral∑ (−1)ᵏ / ((k+1)(k+2)) = ∫₀¹ (1−t)/(1+t) dt = 2 log 2 − 1and the reflection∑ (−1)ᵏ/(k+1)² + ∑ (−1)ᵏ/(k+2)² = 1.
Spearman's rho of the AMH copula at θ = 1: ρ = 4 π² − 39.
Spearman's rho of the AMH copula at θ = −1: ρ = 33 − 48 log 2 ≈ −0.2711.
