Abstract

Copulas are a general tool to construct multivariate distributions and to investigate dependence structure between random variables. However, the concept of cop

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 7.5/10
• Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10
• Quadrant: Lab Rats
• Why: The paper focuses on theoretical copula constructions and dependence structures with advanced mathematics, but lacks implementation details, backtests, or empirical data.
