(Re-)Reading Sklar (1959)—A Personal View on Sklar’s Theorem
Gery Geenens
Source abstract
In this short communication, I share some personal thoughts on Sklar’s theorem and copulas after reading the original paper (Sklar, 1959) in French. After providing a literal translation of Sklar’s original statements, I argue that the modern version of ‘Sklar’s theorem’ given in most references has a slightly different emphasis, which may lead to subtly different interpretations. In particular, with no reference to the subcopula, modern ‘Sklar’s theorem’ does not provide the clues to fully appreciate when the copula representation of a distribution may form a valid basis for dependence modelling and when it may not.
