On a family of multivariate copulas for aggregation processes. (English) Zbl 1132.68761

Summary: We introduce a family of multivariate copulas – a special type of \(n\)-ary aggregation operations – depending on a univariate function. This family is used in the construction of a special aggregation operation that satisfies a Lipschitz condition. Several examples are provided and some statistical properties are studied.
