Gluing copulas side by side #
The gluing construction of Siburg and Stoimenov (Gluing copulas, Communications in
Statistics – Theory and Methods 37 (2008)), in its n-fold form along the first coordinate.
For an interval partition 0 = a₀ < a₁ < ⋯ < aₙ = 1 of [0,1] with cell widths
pᵢ = aᵢ - aᵢ₋₁ and copulas C₁, …, Cₙ, the glued copula is
C(u,v) = aᵢ₋₁ v + pᵢ Cᵢ((u - aᵢ₋₁) / pᵢ, v) for aᵢ₋₁ ≤ u ≤ aᵢ
(cdf_gluing_of_mem). It is realized as the patchwork ∑ᵢ pᵢ Cᵢ(coordᵢ(u), v) with the
clipped local coordinates of the partition (cdf_gluing). On the i-th strip its deviation
from independence is the rescaled deviation pᵢ (Cᵢ - Π)(coordᵢ(u), v)
(cdf_gluing_sub_mul_of_mem), and inside the strip its partial derivative in u is the
rescaled partial derivative of Cᵢ (deriv_cdfSection_gluing_of_mem).
We also record some general partition calculus (maximal width, splitting ∫₀¹ along the cells,
the affine change of variables on a cell) and the Lipschitz regularity of CDF sections.
Partitions: index positivity, the maximal width, and integration over cells #
The largest cell width max_i p_i of a partition.

Splitting ∫₀¹ along the cells of a partition.
The affine change of variables on one cell.
The glued copula #
Patchwork data for gluing n scaled copulas side by side in the first coordinate:
weights pᵢ = width i, first coordinates the clipped cell coordinates, second coordinates
untouched.
Equations

Instances For
The gluing of the copulas C i, scaled to the cells of P, along the first coordinate
(Siburg–Stoimenov).
Equations
Instances For
The deviation of the glued copula from independence, as a weighted sum.
On the i-th strip only the i-th copula deviates from independence.
The Siburg–Stoimenov formula: on the strip aᵢ₋₁ ≤ u ≤ aᵢ,
C(u,v) = aᵢ₋₁ v + pᵢ Cᵢ((u - aᵢ₋₁)/pᵢ, v).
Gluing copies of the independence copula gives the independence copula.
Regularity of CDF sections #
Sections of the glued copula #
On the closed i-th strip, the CDF section of the glued copula is an affine
reparametrization of the CDF section of C i plus aᵢ₋₁ v.
Inside the i-th strip, ∂₁C(t, v) = ∂₁Cᵢ((t - aᵢ₋₁)/pᵢ, v) for the glued copula.
