Transform D-Vine to R-Vine Structure

Source: R/D2RVine.R

This function transforms a D-vine structure from the package CDVine to the corresponding R-vine structure.

D2RVine(order, family, par, par2 = rep(0, length(family)))

Arguments

order

par

A d*(d-1)/2 vector of pair-copula parameters.

par2

A d*(d-1)/2 vector of second pair-copula parameters (optional; default:
par2 = rep(0,length(family))), necessary for the t-, BB1, BB6, BB7, BB8, Tawn type 1 and type 2 copulas.

Value

An RVineMatrix() object.

Examples

# set up D-vine copula model with mixed pair-copulas
d <- 4
dd <- d*(d-1)/2
order <- 1:d
family <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 3)
par <- c(0.5, 0.4, 2, 1.5, 1.2, 1.5)
par2 <- c(0, 5, 0, 0, 2, 0)

# transform to R-vine matrix notation
RVM <- D2RVine(order, family, par, par2)
