Series of mutually independent variables that are dependent on an auxiliary random variable

Let $\{Y_i, i=1,2,\ldots, n\}$ be any finite collection of random variables for which (i) $\{C\} \bigcup \{Y_i\}$ are independent and (ii) $E[|Y_i|] \lt \infty$ for all $i.$ For $i=1, 2, \ldots,$ let $...

Series of mutually independent variables that are dependent on an auxiliary random variable

If you want an actual example then it is easier to construct the $X_i$ first and then create $C$ depending on them. For example, you could have $X_i \sim N(0,1)$ independently and have $C=2\Phi^{-1}\...

Gap between the given correlation parameter and the empirical correlation in (Gaussian) copula simulation

The value of linear correlations are not preserved across nonlinear transformation of the margins. The parameter, $\rho$ measures the Pearson correlation for a Gaussian copula when the margins are ...
