Symmetries of bivariate Gaussian scale mixture copulas #
A bivariate Gaussian scale mixture S · (G₁, G₂) with G ~ N(0, !![1, r; r, 1]) has a law that
is invariant under swapping the coordinates and under x ↦ −x. By the random-vector criteria of
Copula.RandomVariable.Symmetry (Nelsen 2006, §2.7), its copula is exchangeable and radially
symmetric. This applies to the Student-t, Cauchy, variance-gamma, Laplace, slash and
normal–lognormal copulas.
