Measures of concordance determined by D4‐invariant copulas
A continuous random vector (X, Y) uniquely determines a copula C : [0, 1] 2 → [0, 1] such that when the distribution functions of X and Y are properly composed into C, the joint distribution function of (X, Y) results. A copula is said to be D4‐invariant if its mass distribution is invariant with respect to the symmetries of the unit square.

Technical and allocative inefficiency in production systems: a vine copula approach
Modeling the error terms in stochastic frontier models of production systems requires multivariate distributions with certain characteristics. We argue that canonical vine copulas offer a natural way to model the pairwise dependence between the two main ...

A characterization of matrix variate normal distribution
The joint normality of two random vectors is obtained based on normal conditional with linear regression and constant covariance matrix of each vector given the value of the other without assuming the existence of the joint density. This result is applied to a characterization of matrix variate normal distribution.

On partially Schur-constant models and their associated copulas
Schur-constant vectors are used to model duration phenomena in various areas of economics and statistics. They form a particular class of exchangeable vectors and, as such, rely on a strong property of symmetry.

Dispersive order comparisons on extreme order statistics from homogeneous dependent random vectors
In this paper, we investigate sufficient conditions for preservation property of the dispersive order for the smallest and largest order statistics of homogeneous dependent random vectors.

In this paper we study some functionals operating on the set of the n‐copulas defined on [0, 1] n. Conditions under which such functionals are well defined are determined and some counterexamples are described. The study of the fixed points (n‐copulas) for these functionals is also considered, and, finally, some open problems are presented.

Maximum asymmetry of copulas revisited
Motivated by the nice characterization of copulas A for which d∞(A, At) is maximal as established independently by Nelsen [11] and Klement & Mesiar [7], we study maximum asymmetry with respect to the conditioning-based metric D1 going back to Trutschnig [

On the asymptotic covariance of the multivariate empirical copula process
Genest and Segers (2010) gave conditions under which the empirical copula process associated with a random sample from a bivariate continuous distribution has a smaller asymptotic covariance than the standard empirical process based on a random sample ...
