Compute the inverse of a numerical partial derivative for \(V\) with respect to \(U\) of a copula, which is a conditional quantile function for nonexceedance probability \(t\), or $$t = c_u(v) = \mathbf{C}^{(-1)}_{2 \mid 1}(v \mid u) = \frac{\delta \mathbf{C}(u,v)}{\delta u}\mbox{,}$$ and solving for \(v\). Nelsen (2006, pp. 13, 40--41) shows that this inverse is quite important for random variable generation using the conditional distribution method. This function is not vectorized and will not be so.
derCOPinv(cop=NULL, u, t, trace=FALSE,
delu=.Machine$double.eps^0.50, para=NULL, ...)
Value(s) for the derivative inverse are returned.
A copula function;
A single nonexceedance probability \(u\) in the \(X\) direction;
A single nonexceedance probability level \(t\);
A logical controlling a message
on whether the signs on the uniroot
are the same---this is helpful in exploring the numerical derivative limits of a given implementation of a copula.
The \(\Delta u\) interval for the derivative;
Vector of parameters or other data structures, if needed, to pass to cop
; and
Additional arguments to pass to the copula.
