BicopFamily

class BicopFamily

A bivariate copula family identifier.

The following convenient sets of families are also provided:

  • all contains all the families,

  • parametric contains the parametric families (all except tll),

  • nonparametric contains the nonparametric families (indep and tll)

  • one_par contains the parametric families with a single parameter, (gaussian, clayton, gumbel, frank, and joe),

  • two_par contains the parametric families with two parameters (student, bb1, bb6, bb7, and bb8),

  • elliptical contains the elliptical families,

  • archimedean contains the archimedean families,

  • bb contains the BB families,

  • itau families for which estimation by Kendall’s tau inversion is available (indep, gaussian, student, clayton, gumbel, frank, joe),

  • lt contains the families that are lower-tail dependent,

  • ut contains the families that are upper-tail dependent.
