Compute a level curve or level set of a copula for \(V\) with respect to \(U\) (Nelsen, 2006, pp. 12--13). The level curve at level \(t\) is defined for \(U \mapsto [0+\Delta u, 1-\Delta u, \Delta u]\) by
$$t \mapsto \mathbf{C}(u{=}U, v)\mbox{,}$$
and solving for \(v\). The function is largely a dispatcher to features implemented in level.curvesCOP
.
level.setCOP(cop=NULL, para=NULL, getlevel=NULL, delu=0.001, lines=FALSE, ...)
The level set for \(t\)
\(=\)
getlevel
is returned.
A copula function;
Vector of parameters or other data structure, if needed, to pass to the copula;
The level set for \(t\);
The increment for \(\Delta u\). The default is 1 part in 1,000, which should often in practice provide enough smoothness for many copulas;
A logical that matches the argument of the same name in level.curvesCOP
; and
Additional arguments to pass to the lines()
function in R.
