Lower-orthant and Schur parameter order of the signed Clayton family #
The signed family is the positive Clayton copula for θ>0, independence at θ=0, and the
truncated negative branch for -1≤θ<0. Within the positive branch the comparison reduces to
superadditivity of x ↦ (1+x)^r-1 (r≥1), within the negative branch to the concave
four-point inequality for x ↦ x^r (r≤1), and across zero to PQD/NQD. CI and CD transfer
the orthant order to the Schur order.

Instances For
Positive branch: the Clayton CDF increases with the parameter.
Negative branch: the truncated Clayton CDF increases with the parameter.
Table 3: the signed Clayton family increases in lower-orthant order on [-1,∞).
Table 3: Schur order increases with θ on θ≥0.
Table 3: Schur order decreases with θ on -1≤θ≤0.
Table 2: negative parameters tending to zero give the independence CDF.
