Khoudraji's asymmetrization #
Khoudraji's device (A. Khoudraji, Contributions à l'étude des copules et à la modélisation
des valeurs extrêmes bivariées, PhD thesis, Laval 1995; Genest, Ghoudi and Rivest 1998;
E. Liebscher, Construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas, J. Multivariate Anal. 99
(2008)) turns a copula C and weights a, b ∈ [0,1] into
K_{a,b}(u,v) = u^{1-a} v^{1-b} C(u^a, v^b).
It is the special case D = Π of Liebscher's product construction
C(u^a, v^b) D(u^{1-a}, v^{1-b}) (Copula.Transform.MaxProduct), which realizes it as the law
of the coordinatewise maximum of a transformed sample of C and an independent transformed
sample of Π. Results:
- the CDF formula (
cdf_khoudraji), endpoint weightsK_{1,1} = C,K_{0,0} = Π, andK_{a,b}(Π) = Π; - Marshall–Olkin copulas are the Khoudraji asymmetrizations of
M, and Tawn's asymmetric logistic copulas those of Gumbel's (khoudraji_comonotonic,tawn_eq_khoudraji); - the construction preserves max-stability, the pointwise order, PQD and NQD, and commutes
with transposition up to swapping the weights (
transpose_khoudraji); - it does break exchangeability:
K_{a,b}(M)is exchangeable if and only ifa = borab = 0(isExchangeable_khoudraji_comonotonic_iff), detected by the directional Chatterjee's xi of the Marshall–Olkin copula.

Instances For
x^a x^{1-a} = x on the unit interval (with 0^0 = 1).
A zero first weight gives independence: K_{0,b}(C) = Π.
A zero second weight gives independence: K_{a,0}(C) = Π.
Marshall–Olkin copulas are the Khoudraji asymmetrizations of M.
Tawn's asymmetric logistic copulas are the Khoudraji asymmetrizations of Gumbel's.
Khoudraji's construction preserves max-stability (extreme-value copulas).
K_{a,b}(C)ᵀ = K_{b,a}(Cᵀ).
Khoudraji's construction is monotone for the pointwise order.
Khoudraji's construction preserves positive quadrant dependence.
Khoudraji's construction preserves negative quadrant dependence.
Khoudraji's construction preserves exchangeability when the weights are equal.
The Khoudraji asymmetrization of M (the Marshall–Olkin copula) is exchangeable if and
only if a = b or one weight vanishes (in which case it is Π).
