Survival functions, survival copulas and reflections in dimension d #
For a d-copula C with law P of U = (U₁, …, U_d) (Nelsen 2006, §2.10 and the end of §2.6;
Durante–Sempi 2016, §1.7.2):
- the survival function
C̄(u) = P(U ≥ u)is theC-volume of the box[u, 1], i.e. the inclusion–exclusion sum∑_{S} (-1)^{|S|} C(u_S, 1)over the coordinate setsS(survival_eq_rectangleIncrement,survival_eq_sum_powerset); - the survival copula
Ĉ(the law of1 - U) satisfiesĈ(u) = C̄(1 - u)(cdf_survivalCopula_eq_survival), henceĈ(u) = ∑_{S} (-1)^{|S|} C((1 - u)_S, 1)(cdf_survivalCopula_eq_sum); - more generally, reflecting the coordinates in
sgives the copula of(1 - Uᵢ)_{i ∈ s}, (Uᵢ)_{i ∉ s}whose CDF is a partial finite difference ofC(cdf_reflect); Π_dandM_dare radially symmetric (survivalCopula_independence,survivalCopula_comonotonic).
Former name of partialIncrement_cdf (now public in Copula.Rectangle).
The survival function is the C-volume of [u, 1].
Inclusion–exclusion for the survival function (Nelsen 2006, §2.10):
C̄(u) = ∑_{S ⊆ {1,…,d}} (-1)^{|S|} C(v^S) with v^S_i = uᵢ for i ∈ S and 1 otherwise.
CDF of a reflected copula. Reflecting the coordinates in s gives the partial finite
difference of C over s between 1 - uᵢ and 1, with the other coordinates held at uᵢ.
The survival copula evaluates the survival function at the reflected point:
Ĉ(u) = C̄(1 - u).
Survival copula by inclusion–exclusion:
Ĉ(u) = ∑_{S} (-1)^{|S|} C(w^S) with w^S_i = 1 - uᵢ for i ∈ S and 1 otherwise.
Π_d is radially symmetric.
M_d is radially symmetric.
