The analytic expression below is the CDF of the actual positive-Clayton copula on strictly positive unit coordinates.
The actual positive-Clayton CDF formula has the expected first partial derivative on the positive unit square.
The analytic mixed derivative is exactly the explicit Clayton density formula at every strictly positive coordinate.
The analytic Clayton density integrates to the exact CDF rectangle increment on every rectangle bounded away from both axes.
On positive rectangles, the analytic density integrates to the mass of that rectangle under the actual Clayton copula measure.
The package's Clayton density candidate has exactly the actual copula measure on every positive half-open rectangle in the unit square.
The measure built from the explicit density formula agrees with the Clayton copula measure on each positive half-open rectangle.
The candidate-density measure assigns zero mass to either coordinate axis, as does every copula measure.
The candidate's withDensity measure agrees with the Clayton
copula measure on every positive lower orthant.
The candidate's withDensity measure and the actual Clayton
copula measure agree on every closed lower orthant, including the axes.
The explicit positive-Clayton density formula generates exactly the copula's probability measure on the full unit square.
Positive Clayton has an actual nonnegative MTP2 density, given by the the explicit formula above.
Positive Clayton is absolutely continuous with respect to uniform volume on the unit square.
The density's mass on the positive square with lower cutoff r
reaches the Clayton copula's corresponding square mass.
