tau_copula: Calculate Kendall's tau

In CopulaCenR: Copula-Based Regression Models for Multivariate Censored Data

Calculate Kendall's tau

Description

To obtain Kendall's tau from copula parameter(s)

Usage

tau_copula(eta, copula)

Arguments

eta	copula parameter(s); if copula = "Coupla2", input \alpha and \kappa
copula	specify the type of copula model

Details

The supported copula models are "Clayton", "Gumbel", "Frank", "AMH", "Joe" and "Copula2". The "Copula2" model is a two-parameter copula model that incorporates Clayton and Gumbel as special cases.

The Kendall's \tau formulas are list below:

The Clayton copula Kendall's \tau = \eta/(2+\eta).

The Gumbel copula Kendall's \tau = 1 - 1/\eta.

The Frank copula Kendall's \tau = 1+4\{D_1(\eta)-1\}/\eta, in which D_1(\eta) = \frac{1}{\eta} \int_{0}^{\eta} \frac{t}{e^t-1}dt.

The AMH copula Kendall's \tau = 1-2\{(1-\eta)^2 \log (1-\eta) + \eta\}/(3\eta^2).

The Joe copula Kendall's \tau = 1 - 4 \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k(\eta k+2)\{\eta(k-1)+2\}}.

The Two-parameter copula (Copula2) Kendall's \tau = 1-2\alpha\kappa/(2\kappa+1).

Value

Kendall's \tau
