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.

Instances For
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.
