---|---|
Description: | Estimate bivariate common mean vector under copula models with known correlation. In the current version, available copulas are the Clayton, Gumbel, Frank, Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), and normal copulas. See Shih et al. (2019) <doi:10.1080/02331888.2019.1581782> and Shih et al. (2021) <under review> for details under the FGM and general copulas, respectively. |

Estimate bivariate common mean vector under copula models with known correlation. A maximum likelihood estimation procedure is employed. In the current version, available copulas are the Clayton, Gumbel, Frank, Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM), and normal copulas. See Shih et al. (2019) and Shih et al. (2021) for details under the FGM and general copulas, respectively.
The method implemented in this package can be used for bivariate meta-analyses. See Shih et al. (2019) and Shih et al. (2021) for the example of bivariate entrance exam data analysis.

When rho
is 1 or -1, there are some computational issues since the copula parameter may correspond to infinite or negative infinite under some copulas. For the Clayton copula, if rho
> 0.95, it will be approximated by 0.95. For the Frank copula, if rho
> 0.95 or rho
< -0.95, it will be approximated by 0.95 or -0.95, respectively.
