Spearman's rho of extreme-value copulas #

For a Pickands dependence function A,

ρ(C_A) = 12 ∫₀¹ (A(t) + 1)⁻² dt - 3 (spearmanRho_pickandsCopula),

and hence ρ(C) = 12 ∫₀¹ (A_C(t) + 1)⁻² dt - 3 for every bivariate extreme-value copula (IsExtremeValue.spearmanRho_eq).

Proof. With ρ = 12 ∬ C_A - 3, substitute, for fixed v ∈ (0,1), u = v^{1/t - 1} (t = log v / log(uv) ∈ (0,1)), so that C_A(u,v) = v^{A(t)/t} and du = (-log v) t⁻² v^{1/t - 1} dt. After exchanging the order of integration (Tonelli), the inner integral is ∫₀¹ (-log v) v^{(A(t)+1)/t - 1} dv = t² / (A(t) + 1)², a Gamma integral (substitute v = e^{-s}). All integrals are computed as lower Lebesgue integrals of nonnegative functions, so no integrability bookkeeping is needed for the exchange.
