1 Purpose

g05rjf generates pseudorandom uniform variates with joint distribution of a Frank Archimedean copula.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine g05rjf ( n, m, theta, sorder, state, x, ldx, sdx, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n, m, sorder, ldx, sdx
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: state(*), ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: theta
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Inout) :: x(ldx,sdx)
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
void  g05rjf_ (const Integer *n, const Integer *m, const double *theta, const Integer *sorder, Integer state[], double x[], const Integer *ldx, const Integer *sdx, Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names g05rjf or nagf_rand_copula_frank.

3 Description

Generates n pseudorandom uniform m-variates whose joint distribution is the Frank Archimedean copula Cθ, given by
Cθ = - 1θ ln[1+ ( e -θu1 -1) ( e -θu2 -1) ( e -θum -1) (e-θ-1) m-1 ] ,   { θ (0,) , uj (0,1] ,   j = 1 , m ;  
with the special case:
The generation method uses mixture of powers.
One of the initialization routines g05kff (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or g05kgf (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to g05rjf.

5 Arguments

1: n Integer Input
On entry: n, the number of pseudorandom uniform variates to generate.
Constraint: n0.
2: m Integer Input
On entry: m, the number of dimensions.
Constraint: m2.
3: theta Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: θ, the copula parameter.
Constraint: theta1.0×10−6.
4: sorder Integer Input
On entry: determines the storage order of variates; the (i,j)th variate is stored in x(i,j) if sorder=1, and x(j,i) if sorder=2, for i=1,2,,n and j=1,2,,m.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
5: state(*) Integer array Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines g05kff or g05kgf.
On entry: contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.
On exit: contains updated information on the state of the generator.
6: x(ldx,sdx) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: the pseudorandom uniform variates with joint distribution described by Cθ, with x(i,j) holding the ith value for the jth dimension if sorder=1 and the jth value for the ith dimension of sorder=2.
7: ldx Integer Input
On entry: the first dimension of the array x as declared in the (sub)program from which g05rjf is called.
Constraints:
  • if sorder=1, ldxn;
  • if sorder=2, ldxm.
8: sdx Integer Input
On entry: the second dimension of the array x as declared in the (sub)program from which g05rjf is called.
Constraints:
  • if sorder=1, sdxm;
  • if sorder=2, sdxn.
9: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, corrupt state argument.
ifail=2
On entry, invalid theta: theta=value.
Constraint: theta1.0×10−6.
ifail=3
On entry, n=value.
Constraint: n0.
ifail=4
On entry, m=value.
Constraint: m2.
ifail=5
On entry, invalid sorder.
Constraint: sorder=1 or 2.
ifail=7
On entry, ldx must be at least value: ldx=value.
ifail=8
On entry, sdx must be at least value: sdx=value.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
g05rjf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

In practice, the need for numerical stability restricts the range of θ such that: where ε is the machine precision returned by x02ajf.
