The distribution function of the sum $Z$ of two standard normally distributed random variables $X$ and $Y$ is computed with the concept of copulas to model the dependency between $X$ and $Y$. By using implicit copulas such as the Gauss- or…

While measures of concordance -- such as Spearman's rho, Kendall's tau, and Blomqvist's beta -- are continuous with respect to weak convergence, Chatterjee's rank correlation xi recently introduced in Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) does not…

We propose the extension of Fr\'{e}chet-Hoeffding copula bounds for circular data. The copula is a powerful tool for describing the dependency of random variables. In two dimensions, the Fr\'{e}chet-Hoeffding upper (lower) bound indicates…
