Vinecop.__init__

Vinecop.__init__(self, d: int) → None

Default constructor for the Vinecop class.

The default constructor uses Vinecop.from_dimension() to instantiate an empty vine copula of a given dimension. It can then be used to select a model from data using Vinecop.select(). Alternatives to instantiate vine copulas are:

• Vinecop.from_data(): Instantiate from data, as well as an optional FitControlsVinecop, an RVineStructure or matrix, and variable types.

• Vinecop.from_structure(): Instantiate from an RVineStructure or matrix, as well as optional pair-copulas and variable types.

• Vinecop.from_file(): Instantiate from a file.

• Vinecop.from_json(): Instantiate from a JSON string.
