Consider random vars \(X\) and \(Y\) with distributions functions \(F(x)=P(X \le x)\) and \(G(y)=P(Y \le y)\) and joint distribution \(H(x,y)=P(X \le x, Y \le y)\).

For each pair of \((x,y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\), we can associate three numbers \(F(x)\), \(G(y)\) and \(H(x,y)\) (each n interval [0,1]).

\((x,y) \rightarrow (F(x),G(y)) \in [0,1] \times [0,1] \rightarrow H(x,y) \in [0,1]\)

The correspondence that assigns the value of the joint df to each ordered pair of values of the individual dfs is a function called a copula.

Need to generalized notion of “nondecreasing” to multivariate functions

Preliminaries

A “2-increasing” function is a two-dimensional analog of a nondecreasing function of one variable.

Notation: \[ \mathbf{R}: \text{ the real line } (-\infty,\infty)\\ \overline{\mathbf{R}}: \text{ the extended real line } [-\infty,\infty]\\ \overline{\mathbf{R}}^2: \text{ the extended real plane } \overline{\mathbf{R}} \times \overline{\mathbf{R}}\\ B = [x_1,x_2] \times [y_1,y_2]: \text{a rectangle in } \overline{\mathbf{R}}^2 \text{ with vertices } (x_1,y_1),(x_1,y_2),(x_2,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\\ \mathbf{I}^2 = \mathbf{I} \times \mathbf{I} = [0,1] \times [0,1]\\ \text{2-place real function }H: \text{function whose domain, } DomH \subset \overline{\mathbf{R}}^2,\\ \text{ and whose range, } RanH \subset \mathbf{R} \]

Definition: Let \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) be nonempty subsets of \(\overline{\mathbf{R}}\) and \(H\) be a 2-place real function s.t. $DomH = S_1 S_2 $. Let \(B = [x_1,x_2] \times [y_1,y_2]\) be a rectangle with verticesin \(DomH\). The \(H-volume\) of \(B\) is: \[ V_{H}(B)=H(x_2,y_2)-H(x_2,y_1)-H(x_1,y_2)+H(x_1,y_1) \] Definition: A 2-place real function \(H\) is \(2-increasing\) (aka quasi-monotone) if \(V_H(B) \ge 0\) for all rectangles \(B\) whose vertices lie in \(DomH\).

“H is 2-increasing” \(\not\Leftrightarrow\) “H is nondecreasingin each argument”

Ex 2.1

#H volume generator function 
mk_Hvol<-function(fun=NULL){
  
  function(x,y){
    fun(x[2],y[2])-fun(x[2],y[1])-fun(x[1],y[2])+fun(x[1],y[1])
  }
  
}

# make vectorized function
H1<-function(x,y) mapply(function(x,y) max(x,y),x,y)

# create H-volume function
H1_vol<-mk_Hvol(fun=H1)

Let \(H(x,y)=\max(x,y)\) defined on \(\mathbf{I}^2\). H is a nondecreasing function of \(x\) and \(y\), but the H-volume is \(V_{H}(\mathbf{I}^2)=\)-1, so this function is not 2-increasing. See plots 1, 2, and 3

H2<-function(x,y) mapply(function(x,y) (2*x-1)*(2*y-1), x,y)

# create H-volume function
H2_vol<-mk_Hvol(fun=H2)

Let \(H(x,y)=(2x-1)(2y-1)\) defined on \(\mathbf{I}^2\). \(H\) is 2-increasing since $V_{H}(^2)=$4, but is a decreasing function of \(x\) for each \(y \in (0,1/2)\) and a decreasing function of \(y\) for each \(x\in (0,1/2)\). See plots 4, 5, and 6
