Purpose

nag_rand_copula_plackett_bivar (g05rg) generates pseudorandom uniform bivariates with joint distribution of a Plackett copula.

Syntax

[state, x, ifail] = g05rg(n, theta, sorder, state)
[state, x, ifail] = nag_rand_copula_plackett_bivar(n, theta, sorder, state)

Description

Generates pseudorandom uniform bivariates u1,u20,12 whose joint distribution is the Plackett copula Cθ with parameter θ, given by
Cθ = 1 + θ-1 u1 + u2 - 1 + θ-1 u1 + u2 2 - 4 u1 u2 θ θ-1 2θ-1 ,   θ 0, 1  
with the special cases:
The generation method uses conditional sampling.
One of the initialization functions nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg) (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to nag_rand_copula_plackett_bivar (g05rg).

Parameters

Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     n int64int32nag_int scalar
n, the number of bivariates to generate.
Constraint: n0.
2:     theta – double scalar
θ, the copula parameter.
Constraint: theta0.0.
3:     sorder int64int32nag_int scalar
Determines the storage order of variates; the i,jth variate is stored in xij if sorder=1, and xji if sorder=2, for i=1,2,,n and j=1,2.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
4:     state: int64int32nag_int array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines nag_rand_init_repeat (g05kf) or nag_rand_init_nonrepeat (g05kg).
Contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.

Optional Input Parameters

None.

Output Parameters

1:     state: int64int32nag_int array
Contains updated information on the state of the generator.
2:     xldxsdx – double array
The n bivariate uniforms with joint distribution described by Cθ, with xij holding the ith value for the jth dimension if sorder=1 and the jth value for the ith dimension if sorder=2.
3:     ifail int64int32nag_int scalar
ifail=0 unless the function detects an error (see Error Indicators and Warnings).

Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the function:
   ifail=1
On entry, corrupt state argument.
   ifail=2
Constraint: theta0.0.
   ifail=3
Constraint: n0.
   ifail=4
On entry, invalid sorder.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
   ifail=6
On entry, ldx is too small: ldx=_.
   ifail=7
On entry, sdx is too small: sdx=_.
   ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
   ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
   ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

Accuracy

Not applicable.

Further Comments

In practice, the need for numerical stability restricts the range of θ such that: where εs is the safe-range parameter, the value of which is returned by nag_machine_real_safe (x02am); and ε is the machine precision returned by nag_machine_precision (x02aj).

Example

This example generates thirteen variates for copula C2.0.
function g05rg_example


fprintf('g05rg example results\n\n');

% Initialize the base generator to a repeatable sequence
seed  = [int64(1762543)];
genid = int64(1);
subid = int64(1);
[state, ifail] = g05kf( ...
                        genid, subid, seed);

% Sample size and order
n      = int64(13);
sorder = int64(1);

% Parameter
theta = 2;

% Generate variates
[state, x, ifail] = g05rg( ...
                           n, theta, sorder, state);

disp('Variates from a bivariate Plackett copula');
disp(x);
