PairCopulaCDF

Computing the c.d.f. of a pair-copula


Purpose

The function computes the value of the copula function at (u1,u2), which has to lie in the 2-dimensional unit cube. Possible pair-copula families:

Usage

           p = PairCopulaCDF(family,u1,u2,theta)
       Rotated pair-copulas
           p = PairCopulaCDF(family,u1,u2,theta,rotation)

Inputs

   family    = The copula family.
   u1        = A (n x 1) dimensional vector of values lying in [0,1].
   u2        = A (n x 1) dimensional vector of values lying in [0,1].
   theta     = The parameter vector for the pair-copula.
   rotation  = The degree of rotation, i.e., either 90, 180 or 270. No
               rotation is achieved by letting the rotation argument
               empty or by choosing 0 rotation.

Outputs

  p          = n dimensional vector of values of the copula function
               evaluated at (u1,u2).
