Abstract:Discrete copulas are useful tools in statistics to represent the joint distribution of discrete random vectors. Furthermore, they are fascinating mathematical objects that admit a representation as a convex polytope. In this work, we analyze the set of extreme points of convex polytopes of discrete copulas. We focus on the general class of discrete copulas defined on arbitrary grid domains of the unit square, thereby providing a complete characterization of extremal discrete copulas in the most general setting… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
