level.setCOP2: Compute a Level Set of a Copula U with respect to V

Description

Compute a level curve or level set of a copula for \(U\) with respect to \(V\) (Nelsen, 2006, pp. 12--13). The level curve at level \(t\) is defined for \(V \mapsto [0+\Delta v, 1-\Delta v, \Delta v]\) by $$t \mapsto \mathbf{C}(u, v{=}V)\mbox{,}$$ and solving for \(u\). The function is largely a dispatcher to features of level.curvesCOP2.

Usage

level.setCOP2(cop=NULL, para=NULL, getlevel=NULL, delv=0.001, lines=FALSE, ...)

Value

The level set for \(t\)

\(=\)

getlevel is returned.

Arguments

cop

A copula function;

para

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

getlevel

The level set for \(t\);

delv

The increment for \(\Delta v\). The default is 1 part in 1,000, which should often in practice provide enough smoothness for many copulas;

lines

A logical that matches the argument of the same name in level.curvesCOP2; and

...

Additional arguments to pass to the lines() function in R.
