Abstract

We introduce a new copula class, called Lancaster copulas, built from orthogonal expansions of continuous Lancaster probabilities. We derive infinite-series representations for the copula and its density, study truncation effects, and show in numerical experiments that low-order truncations already provide accurate approximation.
