	Copula
		In linguistics, a copula (also sometimes called a linking verb, most often in primary education grammar courses) is a word that is used to link the subject of a sentence with a predicate (a subject complement or an adverbial).
		In Chinese the copula for a noun + adjective combination must be an adverb of degree, e.g.
		The artificial language Lojban has no copula at all, because all words that express a predicate can be used as verbs.

	Copula (statistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The copula contains all of the information on the nature of the dependence between the two random variables that can be given without the marginal distributions, but gives no information on the marginal distributions.
		Otherwise, the copula C is unique on the range of values of the marginal distributions.
		One example of a copula often used for modelling in finance is the Gaussian Copula, which is constructed from the bivariate normal distribution via Sklar's theorem.

	What is a Copula?
		A copula is a special type of verb in English, though in other languages other parts of speech may serve the role of copula.
		The shining example of the copula in English, and many other languages, is the verb to be, which most often serves to link the subject of the sentence with the predicate -- a part of the sentence which modifies the subject.
		This duality that most copula verbs have can often cause confusion when people attempt to refine their speech to be more grammatically standard.

	Copula
		Copula be occurs to the left of the negative marker not.
		Copula be occurs to the left of adverbs in the unmarked order.
		Unlike all the other auxiliaries, however, copula be is not followed by a verbal category (by definition) and therefore must be the rightmost verb.

	AlexandreLeupin.com - THE IMPOSSIBLE COPULA
		Hence, what produces meaning, this copula which we can reduce to the verb to be that we use every minute, like in "this is that,” (the principle of identity of philosophy) is excluded from the world of signifiers.
		In particular, any sexual copula: there is not hope that man and woman together could be the sum total resulting from the addition of two complementary elements, thereby forming a whole.
		Hence, the copula which overcomes the gulf separating the sexes (also man and God, because it is the same gulf) is an object of faith (obsessional neurosis) or love (perversion, especially fetishism - to give (or to be) what you don't have (or cannot be))[23].

	zero copula. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		For some AAVE speakers, zero copula occurs 80 to 90 percent of the time where Standard English requires is or are.
		Throughout the United States, zero copula is less frequent when followed by a noun (He a man) than when followed by an adjective (He happy).
		Since zero copula is not a feature of the British dialects of English that colonial settlers brought to the United States, it is one of the strongest indicators that the development of AAVE may have been influenced by Caribbean English creoles or that AAVE itself may have evolved from an American Creole-like ancestor.

	Kant on the Copula
		At B 142 Kant writes that the objective unity of apperception, in this case, judgment : is intended by "the copula is".
		Kant carries on a conversation with J. Beck in an exchange of letters on May 31, 1792 and July 3, 1792 concerning the distinction between the connection of representations in the concept "the fl man" and in the judgment "the man _is_ fl." Beck's proposed distinction is more comprehensible than Kant's clarification.
		Its distinguishing characteristic is that it contributes nothing to the content of the judgment (for, besides quantity, quality, and relation, there is nothing that constitutes the content of a judgment), but concerns only the value of the *copula* in relation to thought in general.

	Hedge Fund Losses, Credit Derivatives and Dr. Li's Copula
		A copula was an ingenious solution to this problem because it allowed the user to make use of existing models of the default probabilities of firms individually considered; the copula itself would then give the probability of multiple defaults based on these individual default probabilities and the inputted default correlation.
		As ever, the fault lies not with the model, but in the way it was misused, and the important point is for the user to appreciate the assumptions on which any implementation of the model would be based.
		Identifying the best copula to use in any given situation can be quite tricky, and yet the copula itself can make a considerable difference to estimates of multivariate probabilities.

	The Creole Origins of AAVE: Evidence from copula absence
		Categorical copula absence of this kind is virtually unheard of in modern US samples, so on the face of it, these data support the creolist position, particularly since first person copula absence does not occur in modern AAVE although it does in Barbadian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and other Caribbean creoles (see Rickford and Blake 1990).
		Copula absence data for two different sets of Barbadian speakers were also provided by Rickford and Blake (1990) and Rickford (1992b), and while these differed from each other in the relative orderings of __Loc and __Adj (see table 10), they both exemplified the basic copula absence pattern of AAVE.
		Wolfram (1974:524), "copula absence in white Southern speech may have been assimilated from decreolizing fl speech." Thus the similarities between Southern White dialects and AAVE with respect to this feature do not work against the creolist and for the dialectologist hypothesis, as one might have assumed from the general principles outlined in the introductory section.

	Copula
		Although the statistical calculation of a copula was invented in 1957, it was not applied to financial markets and finance until the late '90s.
		Copulas are a mathematical tool used in finance to help identify economic capital adequacy, market risk, credit risk and operational risk.
		The copula, therefore, has been applied to areas of finance such as option pricing and portfolio value-at-risk to deal with the skewness.

		A whimsical person might observe that the English copula is a hussy - parading herself in public with all her inherited imperfections on view -
		Many other languages have less overt copulas [modal indicants] - they hide away as morphological components of the verb.
		For example - in olden times the English copula was less visible - it often formed part of the verb itself - as it does in Latin and the modern romance languages.

	RiskMetrics Group - On Default Correlation: A Copula Function Approach
		We first introduce a random variable called "time-until- default" to denote the survival time of each defaultable entity or financial instrument, and define the default correlation between two credit risks as the correlation coefficient between their survival times.
		Then we argue why a copula function approach should be used to specify the joint distribution of survival times after marginal distributions of survival times are derived from market information, such as risky bond prices or asset swap spreads.
		Finally, we give some numerical examples to illustrate the use of copula functions in the valuation of some credit derivatives, such as credit default swaps and first-to-default contracts.

	SSRN-Measuring and Optimizing Portfolio Credit Risk: A Copula-based Approach by Annalisa Di Clemente, Claudio Romano
		In particular, we study four different types of dependence structure for the credit assets in portfolio: the Gaussian copula, the Student's t-copula, the grouped t-copula and the Clayton n-copula (or Cook-Johnson copula).
		Our aim is to assess the impact of each type of copula on the value of different portfolio risk measures, such as expected loss, maximum loss, credit value at risk and expected shortfall.
		In order to optimize portfolio credit risk, we minimize the conditional value at risk, a risk measure both relevant and tractable, by solving a simple linear programming problem subject to the traditional constraints of balance, portfolio expected return and trading.
