lets suppose a bivariate empirical copula as: enter image description here

for a set of data of example data we can plot it like this: enter image description here

How can we compute the joint cdf of this empirical copula which should like this:

enter image description here Thank you

  • $\begingroup$ Does this help at all? Maybe I don't understand the question, but it seems like it's just a matter of curve/surface fitting. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 14, 2015 at 20:48
  • $\begingroup$ The following 2 leads contain code in R of how to do the ranking step, shown in the numerator of the formula you provided, for estimating the empirical copula/joint density: - See the chosen answer to this question - Another full-on tutorial is given here $\endgroup$

Your empirical CDF copula has support in [0,1]^3 (I guess your observations are n ordered triplets). So, I don´t understand your graph: what do you mean by "order" in the horizontal axis?

    $\begingroup$ I added some more information. I am trying to compute the joint cdf of a set of 3d empirical copula (I said 2d here for simplification) and the order is just sorted data $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Fred: how do you order 3d data??? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Xi'an he means a 3D plot of 2 variables. In the second image, axes $x$ and $y$ are the 2 variables, while the 3rd dimension, the vertical axis $z$, is the joint probability value. So the question is about ranking paired observations from 2 variables only, not 3. $\endgroup$
