gridCOP: Compute a Copula on a Grid

Description

Compute a grid of copula values. This function has the primary intention of supporting 3D renderings or 2D images of the copulatic surface. Users should be aware of the convention of the placement of the plotting origin and the various plotting mechanisms available to them in R. By convention copulatic surfaces start in lower left corner for \(u = v = 0\), but matrix conventions (or at least how some functions plot matrices) start with the origin in the upper left.

Usage

gridCOP(cop=NULL, para=NULL, delta=0.05, transpose=TRUE, ...)

Value

The values for \(\mathbf{C}(u,v)\) are returned as a grid as an R

matrix.

Arguments

cop

A copula function;

para

Vector of parameters or other data structure, if needed, to pass to the copula;

delta

The \(\Delta u = \Delta v\) of the grid edges;

transpose

A logical to transpose the returned grid. This is needed if functions such as image() in R are to be used for visualization (see last example in Examples with composite2COP); and

...

Additional arguments to pass.
