The analytic expression below is the CDF of the actual positive-Clayton copula on strictly positive unit coordinates.
The actual positive-Clayton CDF formula has the expected first partial derivative on the positive unit square.
The analytic mixed derivative is exactly the pinned copula package's candidate density at every strictly positive coordinate.
The analytic Clayton density integrates to the exact CDF rectangle increment on every rectangle bounded away from both axes.
On positive rectangles, the analytic density integrates to the mass of that rectangle under the actual Clayton copula measure.
The package's Clayton density candidate has exactly the actual copula measure on every positive half-open rectangle in the unit square.
The measure built from the pinned candidate density agrees with the Clayton copula measure on each positive half-open rectangle.
The candidate-density measure assigns zero mass to either coordinate axis, as does every copula measure.
The candidate's withDensity measure agrees with the Clayton
copula measure on every positive lower orthant.
The candidate's withDensity measure and the actual Clayton
copula measure agree on every closed lower orthant, including the axes.
The pinned positive-Clayton density candidate generates exactly the copula's probability measure on the full unit square.
Positive Clayton has an actual nonnegative MTP2 density, given by the pinned copula package's explicit formula.
Positive Clayton is absolutely continuous with respect to uniform volume on the unit square.
The candidate's mass on the positive square with lower cutoff r
reaches the Clayton copula's corresponding square mass.
The positive cutoff-square mass lies between 1 - 2r and 1 - r.
This quantitative estimate is a boundary-control step for the density.
Along any positive cutoffs tending to zero, the analytic candidate's integral over the cutoff square tends to one.
A positive rectangle's density integral approximates the upper-corner CDF to within the sum of its two lower-edge cutoffs.
Integrating the candidate density from a vanishing positive cutoff to any fixed positive upper corner converges to that Clayton CDF value.
