Purpose

nag_rand_copula_clayton (g05rh) generates pseudorandom uniform variates with joint distribution of a Clayton/Cook–Johnson Archimedean copula.

Syntax

[state, x, ifail] = g05rh(n, m, theta, sorder, state)
[state, x, ifail] = nag_rand_copula_clayton(n, m, theta, sorder, state)

Description

Generates n pseudorandom uniform m-variates whose joint distribution is the Clayton/Cook–Johnson Archimedean copula Cθ, given by
Cθ = u1-θ + u2-θ + + um-θ - m + 1 -1/θ ,   θ 0, , uj 0,1 ,   j = 1 , m ;  
with the special case:
The generation method uses mixture of powers.
One of the initialization functions nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg) (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to nag_rand_copula_clayton (g05rh).

Parameters

Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     n int64int32nag_int scalar
n, the number of pseudorandom uniform variates to generate.
Constraint: n0.
2:     m int64int32nag_int scalar
m, the number of dimensions.
Constraint: m2.
3:     theta – double scalar
θ, the copula parameter.
Constraint: theta1.0×10-6.
4:     sorder int64int32nag_int scalar
Determines the storage order of variates; the i,jth variate is stored in xij if sorder=1, and xji if sorder=2, for i=1,2,,n and j=1,2,,m.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
5:     state: int64int32nag_int array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).
Contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.

Optional Input Parameters

None.

Output Parameters

1:     state: int64int32nag_int array
Contains updated information on the state of the generator.
2:     xldxsdx – double array
The pseudorandom uniform variates with joint distribution described by Cθ, with xij holding the ith value for the jth dimension if sorder=1 and the jth value for the ith dimension of sorder=2.
3:     ifail int64int32nag_int scalar
ifail=0 unless the function detects an error (see Error Indicators and Warnings).

Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the function:
   ifail=1
On entry, corrupt state argument.
   ifail=2
Constraint: theta1.0×10-6.
   ifail=3
Constraint: n0.
   ifail=4
Constraint: m2.
   ifail=5
On entry, invalid sorder.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
   ifail=7
On entry, ldx is too small: ldx=_.
   ifail=8
On entry, sdx is too small: sdx=_.
   ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
   ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
   ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

Accuracy

Not applicable.

Further Comments

In practice, the need for numerical stability restricts the range of θ such that:

Example

This example generates thirteen four-dimensional variates for copula C1.3.
function g05rh_example


fprintf('g05rh example results\n\n');

% Initialize the base generator to a repeatable sequence
seed  = [int64(1762543)];
genid = int64(1);
subid = int64(1);
[state, ifail] = g05kf( ...
                        genid, subid, seed);

% Sample size
n = int64(13);
m = int64(4);
% Sample order
sorder = int64(1);

% Parameter
theta = 1.3;

% Generate variates
[state, x, ifail] = g05rh( ...
                           n, m, theta, sorder, state);

disp('Variates from a Clayton/Cook–Johnson copula');
disp(x);
