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.

Multivariate Archimedean copulas, $d$-monotone functions and $\ell_1$-norm symmetric distributions

TL;DR: It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for an Archimedean copula generator to generate a $d-dimensional copula is that the generator is a d-monotone function.

Multivariate hydrological frequency analysis using copulas

TL;DR: The modeling of multivariate extreme values using copulas allows us to model the dependence structure independently of the marginal distributions, which is not possible with standard classical methods.

Multivariate Archimedean copulas, d-monotone functions and ℓ1-norm symmetric distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for an Archimedean copula generator to generate a d-dimensional copula is that the generator is a monotone function.
