 Extreme generators of shock induced copulasDamjana Kokol Bukovšek, Tomaž Košir, Blaž Mojškerc and Matjaž Omladič Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2022, vol. 429, issue C Abstract: In a recent paper, extreme points (in the Krein-Milman sense) of the class of semilinear copulas were introduced, motivated by the lack of known extreme copulas such as shuffles of M. We propose an extension of this concept to the class of all bivariate shock induced copulas, the most well-known part of them being the Marshall-Olkin copulas. This class properly contains semilinear copulas. Our technique coincides with the existing notion on them and has some advantages. First, it is defined on a wider family of copulas, which is helpful in finding more examples of extreme copulas. Second, we show that they are dense in each class they belong to (including the class of semilinear copulas) in a stronger sense than in the Krein-Milman approach; actually, they are dense in a similar way as shuffles of M are dense in the set of all copulas. Third, this definition enables practitioners to give stochastic interpretation of extremality. Roughly speaking, a shock induced copula is extreme whenever the inducing shocks have pairwise disjoint supports.
