Spearman's rho of the Raftery family #
For the Raftery copula C_θ (0 ≤ θ < 1, exponent p = 1/(1-θ)) Spearman's rho is
ρ(C_θ) = θ(4 - 3θ)/(2 - θ)² (spearmanRho_raftery; Nelsen 2006, exercises of Ch. 5).
The double integral ∫∫ C_θ splits along the diagonal. Below the diagonal (u ≤ v) the inner
integral in u is elementary; above it, the integrand v + v^p (u^p - u^{1-p})/(2p-1) is
integrated in v after exchanging the order of integration (Fubini), so that no integral of
u^{1-p} (logarithmic at p = 2) is needed. Both triangles contribute
∫₀¹ (x²/2 + (x^{2p+1} - x²)/((2p-1)(p+1))) dx, which gives ρ = 1 - 4/(p+1)².
