Median concordance and nonunique extremal coefficients #
Beta is extremal exactly when the midpoint CDF attains its corresponding bound. Its negative extreme is also equivalent to minimal footrule and the lower Fréchet diagonal. Explicit ordinal sums show that neither extreme of beta, nor the lower extreme of footrule, determines a unique copula.
theorem
ProbabilityTheory.Copula.exists_blomqvistBeta_eq_one_ne_comonotonic :
∃ (C : Copula 2), C.blomqvistBeta = 1 ∧ C ≠ comonotonic 2
Maximal median concordance does not characterize comonotonicity.
theorem
ProbabilityTheory.Copula.exists_blomqvistBeta_eq_neg_one_ne_countermonotonic :
∃ (C : Copula 2), C.blomqvistBeta = -1 ∧ C ≠ countermonotonic
Minimal median concordance does not characterize countermonotonicity.
theorem
ProbabilityTheory.Copula.exists_spearmanFootrule_eq_neg_half_ne_countermonotonic :
∃ (C : Copula 2), C.spearmanFootrule = -1 / 2 ∧ C ≠ countermonotonic
Minimal footrule does not characterize countermonotonicity.
