Generic Copula.


e consider several random variables MATH given by the joint distribution MATH For every variable $X_{i}$ we introduce MATH Suppose $U_{i}$ is some uniform random variable supported on $\left[ 0,1\right] $ . Observe that MATH Hence, the variable $X_{i}$ is distributed as MATH for some $U_{i}$ , uniformly distributed on [0,1]. Therefore, MATH

Summary

(Sklar theorem 1) Let MATH be uniform on $\left[ 0,1\right] $ random variables given by joint distribution MATH . Pick a set of non decreasing functions MATH MATH and introduce the random variables MATH then

Summary

(Sklar theorem 2) Conversely, for any set of random variables MATH given by the joint distribution MATH the expression

MATH (Sklar theorem 2)
is a joint distribution for some uniform on $[0,1]$ random variables MATH .
