Bistochastic kernels and the Markov product #

A Markov kernel preserving uniform volume determines a bivariate copula. Composing these kernels defines the Darsow–Nguyen–Olsen Markov product: C.markovProduct D follows first the transition of C, then that of D. All constructions include singular copulas and are independent of null-set choices of conditional kernels.

Construct a copula from a Markov kernel that preserves uniform volume.

Instances For

    A copula is determined by its conditional kernel up to uniform-null sets.

    The Markov product follows C and then D, with the middle coordinate integrated out. Independence is absorbing and comonotonicity is the identity.

      The CDF of the product, in a kernel form valid without densities.

      Compose almost-everywhere equal kernels on the left of a uniform-preserving transition.
