4 OVERVIEW ABOUT COPULAS IN STATISTICS WHAT IS A COPULA? 1 SIMPLE DEFINITION : A copula is a multivariate probability distribution function defined on [0, 1] n whose marginals are uniform. 2 IN THE STATISTICS LITERATURE copula is a tool to link a multivariate distribution function to its marginal distributions. f(x, y) = f 1 (x)f 2 (y)ω(x, y). 3 POWERFUL TOOLS IN MODELING Mostly used in Finance and Environmental Sciences (C. Genest & MacKay, 1986 ; R.M Cooke, 1997 ; P. Embrechts, 2003) Offer several choices to model dependency between variables (H. Joe, 1997 ; R.B. Nelsen, 2006) D-B. POUGAZA & al.

5 OVERVIEW ABOUT COPULAS IN STATISTICS COPULA DEFINITION A bivariate copula C is a function C : [0, 1] [0, 1] [0, 1] (u, v) C(u, v) with the following properties : 1 C(u, 0) = 0 = C(0, v), 2 C(u, 1) = u and C(1, v) = v, 3 C(u 2, v 2 ) C(u 2, v 1 ) C(u 1, v 2 ) + C(u 1, v 1 ) 0, for all 0 u 1 u 2 1 and 0 v 1 v 2 1, 4 C(u, v) min {u, v}, 5 C(u, v) max {u + v 1, 0}. D-B. POUGAZA & al. () MAXIMUM & COPULA MaxEnt / 21

6 OVERVIEW ABOUT COPULAS IN STATISTICS SKLAR s THEOREM (1959) Let F be a two-dimensional distribution function with marginal distributions functions F 1 and F 2. Then there exists a copula C such that : F (x, y) = C(F 1 (x), F 2 (y)). (1) If the marginal functions are continuous, then the copula C is unique, and is given by C(u, v) = F (F 1 1 (u), F 1 2 (v)). (2) Otherwise C is uniquely determined on Ran (F 1 ) Ran (F 2 ). Conversely for any univariate distribution functions F 1 and F 2 and any copula C, the function F is a two-dimensional distribution function with marginals F 1 and F 2, given by (1). D-B.

Important : Multivariate dependence is captivated by an univariate function. Some examples : 1 Clayton Copula (1978) : with one non-null parameter α [ 1, ) ( t α 1 ) The generator ϕ(t) = 1 α C(u, v; α) = [ [u α + v α 1 ] 1 ] α 2 Gumbel Copula (1960) : with one parameter 0 < α 1.
