gamCopula (version 0.0-7)

gamBiCopCDF: Conditional distribution function of a Generalized Additive model for the copula parameter or Kendall's tau

Description

This function returns the distribution function of a bivariate conditional copula, where either the copula parameter or the Kendall's tau is modeled as a function of the covariates.

Usage

gamBiCopCDF(object, newdata = NULL)

Arguments

object

gamBiCop-class object.

newdata

(Same as in predict.gam from the mgcv package) A matrix or data frame containing the values of the model covariates at which predictions are required. If this is not provided then the distribution corresponding to the original data are returned. If newdata is provided then it should contain all the variables needed for prediction: a warning is generated if not.

Value

The conditional density.
