[R] Copula Fitting Using R

[Michael Kao]

I don't know why my last email didn't go through properly, but library 
copula is still active.

Here is a toy example with reference.

## Toy example for gumbel copula with log-normal distribution
## (Taken from the documentation of copula::fitMvdc)

## Specify the copula
gumbel.cop <- gumbelCopula(3, dim=2)
myMvd <- mvdc(gumbel.cop, c("lnorm","lnorm"), list(list(meanlog = 1.17),
                                      
                                                   list(meanlog = 0.76)))
## Generate some random sample to test
x <- rmvdc(myMvd, 1000)

## Fit the random sample
fit <- fitMvdc(x, myMvd, c(1,1,2))
fit

Hence, to get the package installed and does not want to wait until it shows up on CRAN, one should to the following in the intermediate time:
