Nelsen's family 17 #
Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas, second edition, Table 4.1, number 17 (Section 4.2):
generator φ(t) = -ln (((1 + t)^(-θ) - 1) / (2^(-θ) - 1)) for θ ≠ 0 and copula
C(u, v) = (1 + ((1 + u)^(-θ) - 1) ((1 + v)^(-θ) - 1) / (2^(-θ) - 1))^(-1/θ) - 1.
With d = 2^(-θ) - 1 > -1 and q = -1/θ, the inverse generator is
ψ(s) = (1 + d e^(-s))^q - 1. Its second derivative is
ψ''(s) = q d e^(-s) (1 + d e^(-s))^(q - 2) (1 + q d e^(-s)), which is nonnegative because
q d = (1 - 2^(-θ)) / θ > 0 for every θ ≠ 0. This covers Nelsen's whole parameter range,
both signs of θ at once. At θ = -1 the family is independence (C_{-1} = Π).
The inverse generator s ↦ (1 + (2^(-θ) - 1) e^(-s))^(-1/θ) - 1 of Nelsen's family 17,
for θ ≠ 0. Its generator is u ↦ -ln (((1 + u)^(-θ) - 1) / (2^(-θ) - 1)).
