    The Bivariate Normal Copula

    Full text link
    We collect well known and less known facts about the bivariate normal distribution and translate them into copula language. In addition, we prove a very general formula for the bivariate normal copula, we compute Gini's gamma, and we provide improved bounds and approximations on the diagonal.Comment: 24 page

    Phi-divergence-type test for positive dependence alternatives in 2 x k contingency tables

    No full text
    In this chapter, we consider 2 x k contingency tables and derive a new family of test statistics for detecting positive dependence in them. The family of test statistics introduced here is based on the phi-divergence measures of which the likelihood ratio test is a special case
