Abstract
The study of copulas and their role in statistics is a new but vigorously growing field. In this book the student or practitioner of statistics and probability will find discussions of the fundamental properties of copulas and some of their primary applications. The applications include the study of dependence and measures of association, and the construction of families of bivariate distributions. This book is suitable as a text or for self-study.

Quasi-arithmetic means of covariance functions with potential applications to space-time data

TL;DR: In the present study, quasi-arithmetic functionals are used to make inferences about the permissibility of averages of functions that are not, in general, permissible covariance functions, and to generalise existing results concerning the construction of nonstationary spatial covariances.

Stochastic synthesis approximating any process dependence and distribution

TL;DR: An extension of the symmetric-moving-average (SMA) scheme is presented for stochastic synthesis of a stationary process for approximating any dependence structure and marginal distribution and can exactly preserve an arbitrary second-order structure as well as the high order moments of a process.

Copula based hierarchical risk aggregation through sample reordering

TL;DR: An algorithm for numerical approximation is given which introduces dependence between originally independent marginal samples through reordering in a hierarchical risk aggregation method which is flexible in high dimensions.

Multivariate Archimax copulas

TL;DR: A stochastic representation of multivariate Archimax copulas is provided and a few basic properties of these copulas are explored, including their minimum and maximum domains of attraction.

Conditional quantiles and tail dependence

TL;DR: This paper provides a new graphical characterization of tail dependence and intermediate tail dependence from plots of conditional quantiles with normalized marginal distributions (probit scale) and discusses the properties and pitfalls of this estimation approach.
