Measures of concordance determined by D4-invariant copulas

A continuous random vector (X,Y) uniquely determines a copula C:[0,1]2→[0,1] such that when the distribution functions of X and Y are properly composed into C, the joint distribution function of (X,Y) results. A copula is said to be D4-invariant if its mass distribution is invariant with respect to...
