Properties of general ordinal sums #
For the general ordinal sum generalOrdinalSum J C of Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas,
2nd ed., Definition 3.2.1, this file proves:
- the defining formula:
C(u,v) = a_k + w_k C_k(c_k u, c_k v)on the closed square[a_k, b_k]²(cdf_generalOrdinalSum_of_mem) andC(u,v) = min(u,v)whenever(u,v)lies in none of the open squares (cdf_generalOrdinalSum_of_not_mem); - recovery of the components (
cdf_generalOrdinalSum_embed) and injectivity in the components; - diagonal fixed points:
δ(t) = toutside the open intervals, in particular at all endpoints (the easy half of Nelsen, Theorem 3.2.1); - transpose and exchangeability, pointwise order, and positive quadrant dependence, extending the
binary results of
Copula.OrdinalSum.PropertiesandCopula.OrdinalSum.Dependence; - the existing constructions as instances: finite ordinal sums on an
IntervalPartition(generalOrdinalSum_ofPartition), countable ordinal sums on aCountableIntervalPartition(generalOrdinalSum_ofCountable) and the binaryordinalSum(ordinalSum_eq_generalOrdinalSum).
A point of a closed square [a_k, b_k] lies in no other open interval.
The affine embedding s ↦ a_k + w_k s of [0,1] onto [a_k, b_k].
Instances For
The defining formula #
Nelsen, Definition 3.2.1: on the square [a_k, b_k]² the ordinal sum is
a_k + w_k C_k((u - a_k)/w_k, (v - a_k)/w_k).
The components are recovered by the affine embedding of their square.
The general ordinal sum determines its components.
Diagonal fixed points #
Outside the open intervals the diagonal of an ordinal sum is the identity.
Inside a square the diagonal is the rescaled diagonal of the component.
Transpose, order and dependence #
An ordinal sum is exchangeable exactly when all components are.
The ordinal sum is monotone in the components for the pointwise order, and conversely.
An ordinal sum of positively quadrant dependent copulas is positively quadrant dependent.
Special cases #
The ordinal sum of copies of M is M.
The ordinal sum over an empty family of intervals is M.
