Relation between non-exchangeability and measures of concordance of copulas
share
An investigation is presented of how a comprehensive choice of five most important measures of concordance (namely Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, Spearman's footrule, Gini's gamma, and Blomqvist's beta) relate to non-exchangeability, i.e., asymmetry on copulas. Besides these results, the method proposed also seems to be new and may serve as a raw model for exploration of the relationship between a specific property of a copula and some of its measures of dependence structure, or perhaps the relationship between various measures of dependence structure themselves. In order to simplify the view on this method and provide a more conceptual interpretation a formulation is proposed borrowed from the imprecise probability setting which has been made possible for a standard probability method due to some recent discoveries.
