Exact grid interpolation by local-copula patchworks #
All local choices interpolate the same cumulative cell probabilities.
A sampled patchwork agrees with the original copula at every grid vertex.
Sampling any filled grid recovers exactly the original cell probabilities.
Every unit-interval point is contained in a closed grid cell.
Any local filling has CDF error at most the sum of the containing cell widths.
Uniform mesh bound, independent of the choice of local copulas.
Checkerboard approximation error on an m × n uniform grid.
Check-min approximation has the same uniform CDF error guarantee.
Every choice of local copulas converges uniformly as the uniform grid is refined.
Checkerboard copulas converge uniformly along refining uniform grids.
Check-min copulas converge uniformly along refining uniform grids.
