Generic theory of bivariate Archimedean generators #
Consequences of the axioms of BivariateGenerator used in Nelsen,
An Introduction to Copulas, second edition, Section 4.1 (the representation
C(u, v) = ψ(φ(u) + φ(v)) and its immediate consequences): the inverse generator
ψ is strictly decreasing where it is positive, the generator φ inverts ψ on its
positive range (φ(C(u, v)) = φ(u) + φ(v) when C(u, v) > 0), and C(u, v) < u
whenever 0 < u and 0 < v < 1.
The inverse generator takes the value one at zero.
The inverse generator is antitone on nonnegative arguments (with plain 0 ≤ _
hypotheses instead of membership in Ici 0).
The inverse generator is at most one on nonnegative arguments.
The value ψ(s) of the inverse generator at a nonnegative argument, as a point of I.
Instances For
The generator inverts the inverse generator on its positive range:
φ(ψ(s)) = s whenever s ≥ 0 and ψ(s) > 0 (Nelsen, Section 4.1).
Nelsen's identity φ(C(u,v)) = φ(u) + φ(v) whenever C(u,v) > 0.
The generator is strictly positive at every point of (0,1).
C(u,v) < u for u > 0 and 0 < v < 1 (Nelsen, Section 4.1).
C(u,v) < v for v > 0 and 0 < u < 1.
A copula with generator g in the sense of HasArchimedeanGenerator is g.copula.
A bivariate Archimedean copula is the copula of some BivariateGenerator.
