Quasi-copulas with a prescribed sub-track section
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the quasi-copulas and copulas with a prescribed sub-track section, i.e., with given values along the curve segment connecting the points (x0,0) and (1,1-x0) for 0<x0<1. By employing the technique based on the W-ordinal sum, we provide methods for constructing quasi-copulas and copulas whose sub-track section coincides with a given one. Then, we further investigate construction methods for symmetric quasi-copulas and copulas with a prescribed sub-track section. Furthermore, we determine the best-possible bounds for the class of quasi-copulas sharing a common sub-track section, and verify that the lower bound obtained is also the best-possible lower bound for the class of copulas with a common sub-track section. Finally, we examine several properties of the bound (quasi-)copulas with a prescribed sub-track section, including their comparison with bound (quasi-)copulas with a given track section or a sub-diagonal section, as well as their statistical characteristic and concordance order.
