Abstract

We present a general view of patchwork constructions of copulas that encompasses previous approaches based on similar ideas (ordinal sums, gluing methods, piecing-together, etc.). Practical applications of the new methodology are connected with the determination of copulas having specified behaviour in the tails, such as upper comonotonic copulas.
