The t-EV family (Tables 1, 4 and 5) #
Verification.tEV ν r is the spectral extreme-value copula built from normalized positive
powers of a correlated Gaussian pair. Here it is identified with the printed Student-t
Pickands function, and its CI, tail, order and endpoint entries are checked.
Verification.studentTCDF (ν+1) is the Student-t CDF T_{ν+1}; it coincides with the
marginal CDF of the Student-t law with ν+1 degrees of freedom used for the Student-t rows.
T_{ν+1} is the marginal CDF of the standard Student-t law with ν+1 degrees of freedom.

A(t)=(1-t)T_{ν+1}(z_{1-t})+t T_{ν+1}(z_t).

Table 5: the t-EV copula is CI for every admissible parameter.
The extremal coefficient 2 T_{ν+1}(z_{1/2}), with z_{1/2}=sqrt((ν+1)(1-ρ)/(1+ρ)).
Table 5: lower tail zero and upper tail 2(1-T_{ν+1}(z_{1/2})) for -1<ρ<1.
The correlation endpoint ρ=1 is the comonotonic copula; in particular the lower tail
coefficient is 1{ρ=1} across the closed range.
Increasing lower-orthant order on the closed correlation interval, including the independence and comonotonic endpoints.
