Gaussian Copula (Bivariate) Distribution

Density, distribution function, and random generation for the (one parameter) bivariate Gaussian copula distribution.

dbinormcop(x1, x2, rho = 0, log = FALSE)
pbinormcop(q1, q2, rho = 0)
rbinormcop(n, rho = 0)

Arguments

x1, x2, q1, q2

vector of quantiles. The x1 and x2 should be in the interval \((0,1)\). Ditto for q1 and q2.

n

number of observations. Same as rnorm.

rho

the correlation parameter. Should be in the interval \((-1,1)\).

log

Logical. If TRUE then the logarithm is returned.

Value

dbinormcop gives the density, pbinormcop gives the distribution function, and rbinormcop generates random deviates (a two-column matrix).

Details

See binormalcop, the VGAM family functions for estimating the parameter by maximum likelihood estimation, for the formula of the cumulative distribution function and other details.

Note

Yettodo: allow x1 and/or x2 to have values 1, and to allow any values for x1 and/or x2 to be outside the unit square.

Examples

if (FALSE)  edge <- 0.01  # A small positive value
N <- 101; x <- seq(edge, 1.0 - edge, len = N); Rho <- 0.7
#> Error: object 'edge' not found
ox <- expand.grid(x, x)
#> Error: object 'x' not found
zedd <- dbinormcop(ox[, 1], ox[, 2], rho = Rho, log = TRUE)
#> Error: object 'ox' not found
contour(x, x, matrix(zedd, N, N), col = "blue", labcex = 1.5)
#> Error: object 'x' not found
zedd <- pbinormcop(ox[, 1], ox[, 2], rho = Rho)
#> Error: object 'ox' not found
contour(x, x, matrix(zedd, N, N), col = "blue", labcex = 1.5)
