`214` = rotated Tawn type 2 copula (180 degrees)
`224` = rotated Tawn type 2 copula (90 degrees)
`234` = rotated Tawn type 2 copula (270 degrees)

par

numeric; single number or vector of size n; copula parameter.

par2

numeric; single number or vector of size n; second parameter for bivariate copulas with two parameters (t, BB1, BB6, BB7, BB8, Tawn type 1 and type 2; default: par2 = 0). Note that the degrees of freedom parameter of the t-copula does not need to be set, because the theoretical Kendall's tau value of the t-copula is independent of this choice.

obj

BiCop object containing the family and parameter specification.

check.pars

logical; default is TRUE; if FALSE, checks for family/parameter-consistency are omitted (should only be used with care).

Author

Ulf Schepsmeier, Tobias Erhardt

Details

If the family and parameter specification is stored in a BiCop() object obj, the alternative version 

BiCopPar2Tau(obj)

can be used.
