Abstract. New in the probability theory and
eventology theory, the concept of Kopula
(eventological copula) is introduced1 . The theorem
on the characterization of the sets of events by
Kopula is proved, which serves as the eventological
pre-image of the well-known Sclar’s theorem on
copulas (1959). The Kopulas of doublets and triplets
of events are given, as well as of some N -sets of
events.777
Keywords. Eventology, probability, Kolmogorov
event, event, set of events, Kopula (eventological
copula), Kopula characterizing a set of events.
1 Introduction
Long time ago and little by little, the incentive
for this work materialized in the theory of sets
of events, eventology [5], where the need to
locate the classes of event-probability distributions
(e.p.d.) of the sets of events (s.e.), which were so
arbitrary and spacious to be able without let or
hindrance to deal with the relationships between
pairs, triples, quadruplets, etc., of events, in other
words, to understand the structure of statistical
dependencies and generalities between events
from some s.e. A similar need is perhaps the only
one that has always fueled the development of the
probability theory and statistics, which in one way
or another are theories of studying and evaluating
the structures of statistical dependencies and
generalities in the distributions of sets of events.
The classical copula theory [4, 2, 3, 1], existing
since the 50s of the last century, allows us to
construct classes of joint distribution functions
that have given marginal distribution functions. In
eventology, the theory of sets of events, proposed
in the paper the theory of Kopula (eventological
copula) allows us to solve a similar problem —

1 To
distinguish the quite differently defined notion of an
eventological copula from the classical concept of copula in the
sense of Sklar (1959), the following radical terminology with
capital “K” is used: Kopula = eventological copula; N -Kopula =
eventological N -copula.

to build classes of e.p.d’s of sets of events whose
events happen with given probabilities of marginal
events.
1.1 General statement of the problem of the
Kopula theory
We formulate the general statement of the problem
of the N -Kopula theory for N -sets of events. If
in the classical theory the copula is the tool for
selecting some family of joint d.f.’s of a set of
random variables from the set of all d.f.’s with given
marginal d.f.’s, then in the eventological theory the
Kopula is the tool for selecting a family of e.p.d.’s
of the 1st kind of the set events from the set of
all e.p.d.’s with the given probabilities of marginal
events.
However, unlike the classical d.f.’s the functions of
e.p.d.’s of the 1st kind of the N -s.e. X are functions
that are defined as the sets
{p(X//X), X ⊆ X}
(1.1)
of all its 2N values, probabilities of the 1st kind
p(X//X), on the set of all subsets of this N -s.e.
So, let’s clarify, Kopula is the tool for selecting a
family of sets of the form (1.1) from the set of all
sets with given probabilities of marginal events.
To specify a family of sets of 2N probabilities of
the 1st kind (1.1), it is necessary and sufficient to
specify a family of sets from the 2N − 1 parameters,
since all the probabilities in each set must be
nonnegative and give in the sum of one. And to
specify a family of sets of 2N probability values
of the 1st kind (1.1) with given probabilities of
marginal events that form the X-set
p̆ = {px , x ∈ X},
(1.2)
it is necessary and sufficient to specify a family of
sets from the 2N − N − 1 parameters, since for each
collection there must be another N constraints for
events x ∈ X:
∑
p(X//X) = px .
(1.3)
x∈X⊆X

Therefore, “to define the family of functions of
e.p.d.’s of the 1st kind with given probabilities of
marginal events” means “to define a family of sets
from the 2N −N −1 parameters” as sets of functions
of these probabilities. Eventological theory should
solve this problem with the help of a convenient
tool, the Kopula, which allows us to define a family
of sets from the 2N − N − 1 parameters as sets
of functions from marginal probabilities, which
in turn can be made dependent on a number of
auxiliary parameters.
In general, the N -Kopula in the eventological
theory is an instrument for defining the family of
probability distributions of the 1st kind of the N s.e., in the form of a family of 2N -set of functions of
the probabilities of their N marginal events.
1.2 Prolegomena of the Kopula theory
The main results of this paper are presented
in a rather rigorous mathematical manner. And
although the definitions, statements and proofs
are provided with examples and illustrations,
in order to visualize the ideas underlying the
Kopula theory, in my opinion, a number of
preliminary explanations in a less strict context,
which are collected in several prolegomena, may
be necessary.
If in some set of events X, some events from the
subset X ⊆ X are replaced by their complements,
then we get a new set of events X(c|X) = X + (X −
X)(c) , which is called the X-phenomenon of s.e.
X. The set of all such X-phenomena for X ⊆ X
is called the 2X -phenomenon-dom of s.e. X. In [9]
a rather distinct theory of set-phenomena and the
phenomenon-dom of some s.e.
Similarly, the theory of set-phenomena [9] defines
the phenomena and phenomenon-dom of the set
p̆ = { px , x ∈ X } of the probabilities of marginal
events x ∈ X: the X-phenomenon p̆(c|X) =
{ px , x ∈ X } + { 1 − px , x ∈ X − X } of the set of
marginal probabilities p̆ is obtained by replacing
the marginal probabilities px by complementary
marginal probabilities 1 − px when x ∈ X − X.
Prolegomenon 1
(set-phenomenon of a set of events
The
main
conclusion of the above theory is obvious:
probability distribution of the s.e. X characterizes
the probability distribution and the set of marginal
probabilities of each set-phenomenon from its
2X -phenomenon-dom.
and a set of probabilities of events).
Prolegomenon 2 (set-phenomenal transformation). 1)
For each pair X(c|X) , X(c|Y ) set-phenomena of the set
of events X their probability distributions are related
to each other set-phenomenal transformations. 2)
In each pair p̆(c|X) , p̆(c|Y ) set-phenomena of the set
of marginal probabilities p̆ events from X are also
interconnected by set-phenomenal transformations.
The event x ∈ X is called half-rare [9] if the
probability px = P(x) with which it happens is not
more than half: px 6 1/2. If all events from the s.e. X
are half-rare, we speak of a set of half-rare events,
or a half-rare s.e.
Prolegomenon 3 (sets of half-rare events and its
Kopulas). 1) It is not difficult to guess that for any s.e.
X, in the 2X phenomenon-dom of the sets of events
X(c|X) , X ⊆ X, and in the X-phenomenon-dom of the
sets of its marginal probabilities p̆(c|X) , X ⊆ X, there
is always a half-rare set-phenomenon. If, in addition,
there are no events in X happening with probability
1/2, then such a half-rare set-phenomenon is
unique. 2) A Kopula of some family of half-rare
N -s.e.’s is generated by 2N functions from half-rare
variables defined on the half-hypercube [0, 1/2]N
with values from [0, 1] that are continued by the
set-phenomenal transformations of the half-rare
variables to the corresponding half-hypercubes, all
together completely filling the unit hypercube.
Prolegomenon 4
(an invariance of the copula with
Our task is
to construct a Kopula of a family of arbitrary
(unordered) sets of half-rare events, i.e. a
1-function, the arguments of which form an
unordered set of probabilities of their marginal
events. Therefore, it is natural to require such a
function to be invariant with respect to the order
of its arguments; with respect to the order of
events in these sets. In other words, it is natural
to consider this 1-function as a function of a set of
arguments, rather than a vector of arguments with
ordered components, as it is usually assumed.
respect to the order of half-rare events).
Prolegomenon 5
(insertable sets of half-rare events
Two insertable sets of
half-rare events for a given set of half-rare events
X = {x0 } + X with the frame half-rare event x0 ∈ X,
happening with the highest probability among all
events from X, are two sets of half-rare events
X ′ = {x0 }(∩)X and X ′′ = {xc0 }(∩)X that partition
the set of other events X = X − {x0 } into two:
X = X ′ (+)X ′′ . The events of one of them, X ′ , are
contained in the frame half-rare event x0 , and
the events of the other, X ′′ , are contained in its
complement xc0 = Ω − x0 .
and a frame half-rare event).
Prolegomenon 6
(the insertable sets of events and
conditional e.p.d.’s of a set of events with respect
Conditional
e.p.d.’s of the 1st kind of one s.e. X with respect
to the other s.e. Y are defined in the traditional
way [5]. However, until now attempts to define
such a “conditional” s.e., which would have given
to the frame event and its complement).
80
THE XIV FAMEMS’2015 CONFERENCE
a conditional e.p.d. of the 1st kind, turned out to
be completely impractical [13]. The concept of two
insertable s.e.’s in a frame event is a well-defined
“ersatz” of such “conditional” s.e.’s. The e.p.d.’s
of this “ersatz”, although they do not coincide
with two conditional e.p.d.’s of the 1st kind with
respect to the frame event and its complement,
but they are fully characterized by them. The
converse is also true: the e.p.d.’s of two frame s.e.’s
characterize the corresponding two conditioned
e.p.d.’s of the 1st kind.
Prolegomenon 7
(a frame method of constructing
A
frame method constructs a Kopula of a family of
arbitrary sets of half-rare events on the basis of
a conditional scheme by means of a recurrence
formula via conditional e.p.d.’s concerning the
frame event and its complement. A recurrent
formula associates this Kopula with two Kopulas of
families of their insertable sets of half-rare events
of smaller dimension, which are characterized by
the corresponding conditional e.p.d.’s of the 1st
kind (see Prolegomenon 6).

transformation to this Kopula.
a half-rare Copula to an arbitrary one).
Prolegomenon 9 (Cartesian representation of the
It follows from the Prolegomenon 4
that the Cartesian representation of the N -Kopula
in RN should be a symmetric function of N ordered
variables, marginal probabilities of events from
N -s.e. X, which is defined on the N -dimensional unit
hypercube [0, 1]N . The Cartesian representation of
the N -Kopula is based on the fact that its symmetric
image takes the same values on all permutations of
its arguments, that is, is defined by the permutation
of N events group. Moreover, the value of such
a symmetric function on an arbitrary N -vector
w̄ = {w1 , ..., wN } ∈ [0, 1]N is equal to the value
of the N -Kopula on an ordered X-set of marginal
probabilities of half-rare events p̆ = {px , x ∈ X},
the ordered half-rare projection of the N -vector w̄,
the order of the variables in which is defined by an
N -permutation πw̄ that has the components of the
half-rare projection w̄∗ in decreasing order, where

are components of the N -vector w̄∗ of the half-rare
projection of the N -vector w̄, n = 1, ..., N . As a
result, the ordered half-rare X is the set of marginal
probabilities p̆ = p̆(w̄), on which the N -Kopula takes
the same value as a symmetric function on w̄, is given
by the formula
p̆(w̄) = πw̄ (w̄∗ ),
(1.5)
which defines the Cartesian representation of the N Kopula in RN for each w̄ ∈ [0, 1]N .
2 The Kopula: definition, theorem and
the simplest Kopulas
We consider the general probability space of
Kolmogorov events (Ω, A℧ , P), some particular
probability space of events(Ω, A, P) and the N -set
of events (N -s.e.) X ⊂ A with the event-probability
distribution (e.p.d.2 ) of the 1st kind
p(X) = {p(X//X) : X ⊆ X},
and of the second kind
pX = {pX//X : X ⊆ X},
which, recall, are related to each other by the
Mobius inversion formulas:
∑
p(Y //X),
pX//X =

p(X//X) =

(2.5)
Proof. In other words, the lemma states: 1) if
ψ ∈ Ψ1{x,y} is a 1-function on the {x, y}-square then
ψ ∈ Ψ0{x,y} is a normalized function on the {x, y}square; 2) among the normalized functions from
Ψ0{x,y} there is one which is not a 1-function. But
this is obvious, as it is confirmed by the following
simple examples.
First, indeed, for the doublet of events X = {x, y} by
the definition of a 1-function, we have
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy ) = wx ,
(2.9)
82
THE XIV FAMEMS’2015 CONFERENCE
However, it is not a 1-function, since
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy ) = (wx + wy )/4+
(wx + 1 − wy )/4 = wx /2 + 1/4 ̸= wx ,
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(1 − wx , wy ) = (wx + wy )/4+
(1 − wx + wy )/4 = wy /2 + 1/4 ̸= wy .
The lemma is proved.
Of course, in the general case, for an arbitrary s.e.
X the same lemma is fulfilled.
Lemma 2 (properties of 1-functions on the
hypercube ). A strict inclusion is fair:
X-
Ψ1X ⊂ Ψ0X .
Proof is similar.
Note 1 (a representation of a 1-function on the
X-hypercube in the form of 2|X| -set of functions).
Figure 1: The graph of the Cartesian representation of the normalized
function ψ(wx , wy ) = (wx + wy )/4 on the {x, y}-square from Ψ0{x,y}
which is not a 1-function.
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(1 − wx , wy ) = wy ,
(2.10)
ψ(1 − wx , 1 − wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy ) = 1 − wy , (2.11)
ψ(1 − wx , 1 − wy ) + ψ(1 − wx , wy ) = 1 − wx . (2.12)
The sums (2.9) and (2.12) as well as the sums (2.10)
and (2.11) as a result give
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy )+
+ψ(1 − wx , 1 − wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy ) = 1,
(2.13)
i.e., ψ ∈ Ψ0{x,y} is a normalized function on the
{x, y}-square.
Second, the function (see its graph in Fig. 13 )
ψ(wx , wy ) = (wx + wy )/4
is normalized on the {x, y}-square, since
ψ(wx , wy ) + ψ(wx , 1 − wy )+
ψ(1 − wx , wy ) + ψ(1 − wx , 1 − wy ) =
= (wx + wy )/4 + (wx + 1 − wy )/4+
(1 − wx + wy )/4 + (1 − wx + 1 − wy )/4 = 1.

events, the map of this function on a unit square is shown
under the graph in conditional colors where the white color
corresponds to the level 1/4.
Any 1-function ψ ∈ Ψ1X on the X-hypercube [0, 1]⊗X
for each w̆ ∈ [0, 1]⊗X is represented in the form of

As well as every 1-function (2.14), any |X|-Kopula of

2.2 Convex combination of Kopulas
2.1 Characterization of a set of events by
Kopula
The eventological analogue and the preimage of
the well-known Sklar theorem on copulas [4] is the
following theorem.
Theorem 1 (characterization of a s.e. by
Let p = {p(X//X) : X ⊆ X} be the e.p.d. of
the 1st kind of the s.e. X with X-set of probabilities
of marginal events p̆ = {px : x ∈ X} ∈ [0, 1]⊗X . Then
there is a |X|-Kopula K ∈ Ψ1X that defines a family
of e.p.d.’s of the 1st find of the s.e. X. This family
contains the e.p.d. p, when Kopula’s arguments
coincide with p̆. In other words, the such Kopula

Conversely,
for any X-set of probabilities of marginal
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
events p̆ ∈ [0, 1]⊗X and any |X|-Kopula K ∈ Ψ1X ,
the function p = {p(X//X) : X ⊆ X}, defined by
formulas (2.20) for X ⊆ X, is an e.p.d. of the 1st kind,
which characterizes the s.e. X with given X-set of the
probabilities of marginal events p̆.
Proof is a direct consequence of the properties of
e.p.d. of the 1st kind of the s.e. X and the |X|-Kopula.
First, if the e.p.d. of the 1st kind p = {p(X//X) :
X ⊆ X} of some s.e. X with the X-set of marginal
probabilities p̆ = {px : x ∈ X} is defined, then from
properties of probabilities of the 1st kind it follows
that for x ∈ X
∑
px =
p(X//X),
(2.21)
x∈X⊆X
i.e., the function K, defined by the e.p.d. of the
1st kind p and formulas (2.3), satisfies x-marginal
equalities for x ∈ X:

px =
(2.22)
x∈X⊆X
(required for being a 1-function:: K ∈ Ψ1X ) and
serves as the |X|-Kopula.
Second, if the function K is the |X|-Kopula, then by
Lemma 1: K ∈ Ψ1X ⊂ Ψ0X , i.e., it is normalized and,
consequently, by (2.20) the function p is normalized
too:

For every set of events X the space of 1-functions
Ψ1X , as well as the space of its Kopulas, is a convex
manifold.
2.3 Kopula of free variables: A computational
aspect
Without set-phenomenon transformations and
variable transformations, analytic work on sets of
half-rare events (s.h-r.e.’s) (see [9]) and sets of their
marginal probabilities, is unlikely to be effective.
However, in specific calculations at first, because
of their unaccustomedness, these compulsory
wisdoms can cause misunderstandings, leading to
errors. Therefore, it is useful, in order to avoid
unnecessary stumbling during calculations, to
84
THE XIV FAMEMS’2015 CONFERENCE
introduce separate notation for half-rare marginal
probabilities events from s.h-r.e’s. X and its setphenomena, that is, probabilities that are not
greater than half, in order to distinguish them from
free marginal probabilities, to the values of which
there are no restrictions.
So, we will talk about half-rare variables (hr variables) and free variables, assigning special
notation to them5 :
p̆ = {px , x ∈ X} ∈ [0, 1/2]⊗X
−X-set of half-rare variables,
p̆(c|X//X) ∈ [0, 1/2]⊗X ⊗ (1/2, 1]⊗X−X

Since for X ⊆ X = {x}
(
)
K w̆(c|X//{x}) =
{

K (wx ) ,
X = {x},
then a marginal and global normalization of the
function K are written as:
K(wx ) = wx ,
(2.32)
K(wx ) + K(1 − wx ) = 1,
and the global normalization obviously follows
from the marginal one, which agrees with Lemma
2; and from the marginal normalization it follows
that the 1-copula K of an arbitrary monoplet of
events X = {x} is defined for free variables w̆ =
{wx } ∈ [0, 1]x by a one formula:
K(w̆) = K(wx ) = wx ,

2.5 Kopulas for a doublet of events
Let’s construct an example of 2-Kopulas K ∈ Ψ1X of
families of a doublet of events X = {x, y}, in other
words, let’s construct on the unit {x, y}-square the
such nonnegative bounded numerical functions
K : [0, 1]⊗{x,y} → [0, 1],
that for all z ∈ {x, y}
(
)
∑
K w̆(c|Z//{x,y}) = wz .
z∈Z⊆{x,y}
Since each 2-set of arguments w̆ ∈ [0, 1]x ⊗ [0, 1]y
generates 2{x,y} -phenomenon-dom
2(c|w̆) = {w̆, w̆(c|{x}) , w̆(c|{y}) , w̆(c|∅) },
(2.36)
composed from forth its set-phenomena
w̆ = w̆(c|{x,y}//{x,y}) = {wx , wy },
w̆(c|{x}//{x,y}) = {wx , 1 − wy },
w̆(c|{x}//{x,y}) = {1 − wx , wy },
(2.37)
w̆(c|∅//{x,y}) = {1 − wx , 1 − wy },
then
K (w̆) = K(wx , wy ),
)
K w̆(c|{x}//{x,y}) = K(wx , 1 − wy ),
(
)
K w̆(c|{y}//{x,y}) = K(1 − wx , wy )
(
)
K w̆(c|∅//{x,y}) = K(1 − wx , 1 − wy ),
(
and normalizations for every w̆ ∈ [0, 1]⊗{x,y} are
written as:
K(wx , wy ) + K(wx , 1 − wy ) = wx ,
K(wx , wy ) + K(1 − wx , wy ) = wy ,
K(wx , wy ) + K(wx , 1 − wy )+
+K(1 − wx , wy ) + K(1 − wx , 1 − wy ) = 1.
The e.p.d. of the 1st kind of doublet of events is
defined by the 2-Kopula for X ⊆ {x, y} in half-rare
variables by general formulas:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K p̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
K (1 − px , 1 − py ) , X = ∅,
K (p , 1 − p ) ,
X = {x}.

where pxy (p̆) is functional parameter that has a
sense of probability of double intersection.
This e.p.d. of the 1st kind of doublet of events in
the free functional parameters and variables (after
replacement (2.31)) has the form:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
w + wy − 1 + wxy (1 − wx , 1 − wy ),
x
wx > 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = ∅,

wx > 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {y},
wxy (wx , wy ),
wx 6 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {x, y}.
(2.39)
2.6 Kopula for a doublet of independent
events
The simplest example of a 1-function on a {x, y}square is the so-called independent 2-Kopula, which
for free variables w̆ ∈ [0, 1]⊗{x,y} is defined by the
formula:
K (w̆) = wx wy .
(2.40)
This provides it on each 2(c|w̆) -phenomenon the
following four values:
(
)
K w̆(c|{x,y}//{x,y}) = wx wy ,
(
)
K w̆(c|{x}//{x,y}) = wx (1 − wy ),
(
)
K w̆(c|{y}//{x,y}) = (1 − wx )wy ,
(
)
K w̆(c|∅//{x,y}) = (1 − wx )(1 − wy ).
(2.41)
Indeed, the so-defined independent 2-Kopula is a 1function because
)
∑ (
K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) = wx wy + wx (1 − wy ) = wx ,
x∈X⊆{x,y}
∑
(
)
K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) = wx wy + (1 − wx )wy = wy .
y∈X⊆{x,y}
The e.p.d. of the 1st kind of doublet of independent
events with the {x, y}-set of probabilities of events
p̆ is defined by four values of the independent
2-Kopula (2.40) on its 2(c|p̆) -penomenon-dom by
general formulas in half-rare variables (see Fig. 2),

p(y) (yellow) и p(∅) (fuchsia).
2.7 2-Kopula of free variables:
A computational aspect
With the phenomenal substitution (2.30) half-rare
2-Kopula as a function of the free variables takes
the equivalent form:
)
(
wxy w̆(c|X//X) ,
w̆ ∈ [0, 1/2]x ⊗ [0, 1/2]y ,
(
)
wx − wxy w̆(c|{x}//X) ,
w̆ ∈ [0, 1/2]x ⊗ (1/2, 1]y ,
K (w̆) =
(2.43)
(
)
wy − wxy w̆(c|{y}//X) ,
w̆ ∈ (1/2, 1]x ⊗ [0, 1/2]y ,
)
(
wx + wy − 1 + wxy w̆(c|∅//X) ,
w̆ ∈ (1/2, 1]x ⊗ (1/2, 1]y .
We rewrite this formula a pair of times, in order
to understand the properties of the phenomenon
0 6 wxy (wx , wy ) 6 min{wx , wy },
0 6 wxy (wx , 1−wy ) 6 min{wx , 1−wy },
0 6 wxy (1−wx , wy ) 6 min{1−wx , wy },
(2.46)
0 6 wxy (1−wx , 1−wy ) 6 min{1−wx , 1−wy }
are the Fréchet inequalities for wxy as the halfrare probability of double intersection of half-rare
events: either half-rare events x or y, or their halfrare complements, when events x or y are not halfrare.
Note that the conditional formulas (2.43), (2.44) and
(2.45) can not be rewritten as four unconditional
formulas, because these conditions are in the right,
and not in the left. This is explained exclusively by
the properties of the phenomenon replacement of
half-rare variables by free ones (2.30), which, for
this reason, leads to formulas that are convenient
for calculations.

independent events x and y happening with
probabilities wx and wy , and means, of course, that
the all the following four equations are satisfied:
wxy (wx , wy ) = wx wy ,
wxy (wx , 1 − wy ) = wx (1 − wy ),
wxy (1 − wx , wy ) = (1 − wx )wy ,
wxy (1 − wx , 1 − wy ) = (1 − wx )(1 − wy );
from (2.45) it follows that a half-rare 2-Kopula
from free variables of the family of e.p.d.’s of
the independent doublet of events X = {x, y}
with X-sets of free marginal probabilities w̆ =
{wx , wy } ∈ [0, 1]⊗X has the same view on all 2(c|w̆) phenomenon-doms:
K (w̆) = wx wy .
(2.47)
2.8 Upper 2-Kopula of Fréchet
An example of a 1-function on a {x, y}-square is the
so-called upper 2-Kopula of Fréchet, which suggests
the probabilities of a double intersection to be its
upper Fréchet boundary. In other words, the only
functional free parameter in (2.39) is:
+
wxy (w̆) = wxy
(w̆) = min{wx , wy }.
(2.48)
The upper 2-Kopula of Fréchet from free variables
w̆ ∈ [0, 1]⊗{x,y} is defined by the formulas:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
wx + wy − 1 + min{1 − wx , 1 − wy },
wx > 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = ∅,
wx − min{wx , 1 − wy },
wx 6 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = {x},
=
wy − min{1 − wx , wy },
wx > 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {y},
min{wx , wy },
wx 6 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {x, y}.
(2.49)
After simple transformations, these formulas
provide the upper 2-Kopula of Fréchet on each
2(c|w̆) -phenomenon-dom the following four values
of free variables:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
min{wx , wy },
wx > 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = ∅,
max{0, wx + wy − 1},
wx 6 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = {x},
=
max{0, wx + wy − 1},
wx > 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {y},
min{wx , wy },
wx 6 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {x, y},
+

+
(wx , wy ),
wxy
wx 6 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {x, y},
(2.50)
which, as can be seen, are defined by the
upper and lower Fréchet boundaries of the
probability of double intersecyion, depending on
the combination of the values of the free variables.
The same four values from the half-rare variables
have the form:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K p̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
min{1 − px , 1 − py }, X = ∅,
max{0, px − py },
X = {x},
=
X = {y},
max{0, py − px },
min{px , py },
X = {x, y}.
(2.51)
If px > py , this formula takes the form:
p(X//{x, y}) = K

And if px < py , then this formula takes the form:

other words, the only functional free parameter in

wxy (w̆) = wxy

2.9 Lower 2-Kopula of Fréchet
A once more example of a 1-function on a {x, y}square is the so-called lower 2-Kopula of Fréchet,
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K w̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
wx + wy − 1 + max{0, 1 − wx − wy },
wx > 1/2, wy > 1/2 ⇔ X = ∅,

max{0, wx + wy − 1},
wx 6 1/2, wy 6 1/2 ⇔ X = {x, y}.
(2.57)
After simple transformations, these formulas
provide the lower 2-Kopula of Fréchet on each

which, as can be seen, are also defined by the upper
and lower Fréchet boundaries of the probability of
double intersection only in other combinations of
the values of the free variables.
The same four values from the half-rare variables
have the more simple form:
(
)
p(X//{x, y}) = K p̆(c|X//{x,y}) =
max{0, 1−px −py }, X = ∅,

marked by different colors: p(xy) (aqua), p(x) (lime), p(y) (yellow) и p(∅)
(fuchsia).
2.10 Convex combinations of the lower, upper
and independent 2-Kopulas of Fréchet
A rather general example of a 1-function on a
{x, y}-square is the convex combinations of the
upper, lower, and independent 2-Kopulas ofwise
Fréchet, which propose the probabilities of a pair
intersection to become a convex combination (this
is allowed by the lemma 3) of its upper and lower
Fréchet boundaries, as well as the probability of
double intersection of independent events with
some functional weighting parameter.
2.10.1 Convex combination of the lower and upper
2-Kopulas of Fréchet
A convex combination of the lower and upper 2Kopula of Fréchet can be ensured by the unique
functional free parameter wxy (w̆) in (2.39), in which
the probability of double intersection is computed
by the following formula:
wxy (w̆) =
+
−
(w̆)
(w̆) + (1+α)/2wxy
= (1−α)/2wxy
(2.61)
where α = α(w̆) ∈ [−1, 1] is an arbitrary function on
[0, 1]⊗{x,y} with values from [−1, 1], and

Unfortunately, these are the properties of a convex
combination such that for α = 0 the probability
of double intersection is equal to half of the
sum of its lower and upper Fréchet boundaries:
−

wxy (w̆) = (wxy
(w̆) + wxy
(w̆))/2 (see Figure6), and not
an independent 2-Kopula, no matter how much we
want it. This “blunder” of the convex combination
can easily be corrected by conjugation of two
convex combinations, as done below.

[0, 1]⊗{x,y} with values from [−1, 1], and

wxy

(2.65)
is the upper Fréchet-boundary of probability of
double intersection. For α = 0, the probability
wxy (w̆) = min{w̆} max{w̆} = wx wy coincides with the
probability of double intersection of independent
events; for α = −1, the probability wxy (w̆) =
0 coincides with the lower Fréchet-boundary of
half-rare marginal probabilities; for α = 1, the

probability wxy (w̆) = wxy
upper Fréchet-boundary of marginal probabilities.
In Fig. 7 it is a graph of this 2-Kopula for the same
weight function with values from [−1, 1] as in the
previous example.

Y -pseudo-distribution of the Y -inserted s.e. with
the corresponding Y -conditional e.p.d. looks
simpler. It is sufficient for each fixed Y ⊆ Y
to normalize all its probabilities of “inserted”
terraced events by the probability of a terraced
event p(Y //Y) in order to obtain corresponding
to the Y -conditional probabilities regarding the
fact that the corresponding frame terraces event
ter(Y //Y) happened. As a result, we have the
following obvious inversion formulas:
p(X//X | Y //Y) =
p
(Y )
p(Y ) (X + Y //X + Y)
,
p(Y //Y)
(3.10)
(X + Y //X + Y) = p(X//X | Y //Y)p(Y //Y).
Note 9 (about the appropriateness of the concept
of inserted s.e.’s). It would seem, why develop
a theory of inserted s.e.’s, pseudo-distributions
of which are simply characterized by conditional
e.p.d.’s. Is not it better to instead practice the
theory of conditional e.p.d., especially since this
theory has long had excellent recommendations
in many areas. However, in eventology, as the
theory of events, which prefers to work directly
with sets of events, there is one rather serious
objection. The fact is that conditional e.p.d., as
any e.p.d. in eventology, there must be a set of
some events, in this case, a set of well-defined
“conditional events”. But until now it has not been
possible to give a satisfactory definition of the
“conditional event”, except for my impractical
definition in [13]. So, the inserted s.e.’s are a
completely satisfactory “surrogate” definition of
the sets of “conditional events”. Such that e.p.d.’s
of inserted s.e.’s, although they do not coincide
with the desired conditional e.p.d.’s, but are
associated with them by well-defined mutualinverse transformations. As a result, inserted s.e.’s
play the role of a convenient eventological tool
for working with conditional e.p.d.’s of a one set
of events regarding terrace events generated by
another set of events.
Example 1 (two inserted s.e.’s in a frame monoplet).
Let in formulas (3.1) the s.e. X is an arbitrary set,
and the s.e. Y = {y} is a frame monoplet of events,
which have the joint e.p.d. in a form:
{p(X + Y //X + {y}), X ⊆ X , Y ⊆ {y}}.
(3.11)
Then there is the {y}-inserted s.e. and the ∅inserted s.e.:
X (∩{y}//{y}) = {x ∩ y, x ∈ X },
X (∩∅//{y}) = {x ∩ y c , x ∈ X }.
(3.12)
These inserted s.e.’s are characterized for every of
two subsets of the monoplet Y = {y} ⊆ {y} and Y =
∅ ⊆ {y} by formulas (3.3) and by two corresponding
e.p.d.’s
{p(X//X + {y})}, X ⊆ X },
{p(X + {y}//X + {y})}, X ⊆ X }.
(3.13)
which by formulas (3.5) define two Y -pseudodistributions for X ⊆ X :
p({y}) (X + {y}//X + {y}) =
{
p(X + {y}//X + {y}),
X ̸= ∅,
=
p({y}//X + {y}) − 1 + p({y}//{y}),X = ∅,(3.14)
{
p(X + {y}//X + {y}),
X ̸= ∅,
=
p({y}//X + {y}) − 1 + py , X = ∅.
p(∅) (X//X + {y}) =
{
p(X//X + {y}),
X ̸= ∅,
=
p(∅//X + {y}) − 1 + p(∅//{y}), X = ∅, (3.15)
{
p(X//X + {y}),
X ̸= ∅,
=
p(∅//X + {y}) − py , X = ∅,
where py = P(y) is a probability of the frame event
y ∈ {y}.
First of all, note that the sum of the probabilities
of terraced events from the {y}-pseudo-distribution
(3.14) is py , and the probabilities of the ∅-pseudodistribution (3.15) is 1 − py ; and secondly, that these
two pseudo-distributions define a joint e.p.d. of the
s.e. X and the monoplet {y}, i.e., e.p.d. of the s.e.
X + {y}, which is related to them by fairly obvious
formulas for Z ⊆ X + {y}:
{
p({y}) (Z//X + {y}), y ∈ Z,
(3.16)
p(Z//X + {y}) = (∅)
p (Z//X + {y}), y ̸∈ Z.
The formulas (3.16) are recurrent, connecting the
e.p.d. of s.e. X + {y} with two pseudo-distributions
of the inserted s.e. X ′ = X (∩{y}//Y) and X ′′ = X (∩∅//Y)
whose power is less by one. The inversion formulas
(3.10) allow recurrence formulas (3.16) to express
the e.p.d. of X + {y} via the conditional e.p.d. with
respect to one of its events y ∈ X + {y} and its
complements y c = Ω − y:
p(Z//X + {y}) =
p(X//X | {y}//{y})py ,
Z = X + {y},
(3.17)
X ⊆ X;
=
p(X//X | ∅//{y})(1 − py ), Z = X,
X ⊆ X,
where Z ⊆ X + {y}. Note that these formulas, like
(3.16), can be used recursively to express the e.p.d.
of s.e. X + {y} through two conditional e.p.d.’s of
the s.e. X whose power is less by one.

We also need to define an inserted Y -pseudoKopula with respect to the s.e. Y, which
characterizes the Y -pseudo-distribution of the
Y -inserted s.e. X (∩Y //Y) , inserted into the terraces
event ter(Y //Y) generated by the s.e. Y. Although
the Y -pseudo-Kopula is not a Kopula, i.e., is not a
1-function, it has properties very reminiscent of
the Kopula properties.

the s.e. Y. Such Y -inserted N -Kopulas characterizes

3.3 Theory of the frame method for
constructing Kopula
The basis of the frame method of constructing
Kopula is a rather simple idea of composing an
arbitrary N -s.e. X using the recurrence frame
formula:
X = {x0 , x1 , ..., xN −1 } = {x0 } + X ,
(3.46)
where (N −1)-s.e.’s
(
)
X = X − {x0 } = {x1 , ..., xN −1 } = X ′ (+) X ′′ (3.47)
are composed from two (N − 1)-s.e.’s X ′ and X ′′ by
set-theoretic operation of M -union9 and defined as
the inserted s.e.’s in the frame monoplet {x0 } by the
following formulas:
X ′ = X (∩{x0 }//{x0 }) =
= {x0 } (∩) X = {x0 ∩ x1 , ..., x0 ∩ xN −1 },
(3.48)
X ′′ = X (∩∅//{x0 }) =
= {xc0 } (∩) X = {xc0 ∩ x1 , ..., xc0 ∩ xN −1 }.
This simple idea allows us to find the recurrent
frame formulas for the N -Kopula of s.e. X as
functions of the set of marginal probabilities p̆ =
{p0 , p1 , . . . , pN −1 }.
The frame method relies on formulas (3.16) and
(3.17) and also correspondingly on (3.44) and (3.45),
and constructs two recurrent formulas:
(
)
({x })
(∅)
KX (p̆) = Recursion1 KX ′ 0 (p̆), KX ′′ (p̆) , (3.49)
(
)
|{x }
|∅
KX (p̆) = Recursion2 KX ′ 0 (p̆), KX ′′ (p̆), p0 , (3.50)
for the N -Kopula of N -s.e. X through known
probability p0 of the event x0 and together with it
through two known inserted pseudo-(N−1)-Kopulas
(see Definition 9), i.e., through pseudo-(N − 1)Kopulas of inserted (N − 1)-s.e.’s X ′ and X ′′ in the
frame monoplet {x0 }, either through two known
conditional (N −1)-Kopulas (see Definition 10) with
respect to the frame monoplet {x0 } of the same X ′
and X ′′ .
9 М-intersection and М-union are an intersection and union od
sets by Minkowski (see details in [5]).
Note, that for the sake of brevity in the
formulas (3.49) and (3.50) we use the following
abbreviations, of course, given that X = X + {x0 }:
(
)
KX (p̆) = K p̆(c|X+Y //X +{x0 }) ,
(
)
(∩{x0 }//{x0 })
({x })
//X ′ )
KX ′ 0 (p̆) = K({x0 }) p̆(c|X

KX ′′ (p̆) = K|∅ p̆(c|X//X |∅//{x0 }) .
(3.51)
Note 14 (about term “frame”). Although in formulas
(3.46) and (3.47) only monoplet {x0 } is a frame set,
we shall call frame (with respect to this monoplet)
the s.e. X itself, construcyed from two inserted
s.e.’s X ′ = X (∩{x0 }//{x0 }) and X ′′ = X (∩∅//{x0 }) ,
more hoping to clarify understanding than to cause
misunderstandings.
Note 15 (recurrent formulas of the frame method).
Getting rid of abbreviations (3.51) and using (3.44)
and (3.45), we write the recurrent formulas of the
frame method (3.49) and (3.50) in the expanded
form:
(
)
K p̆(c|X+Y //X +{x0 }) =
(
)
(∩{x0 }//{x0 })
//X ′ )
({x }) (c|X
, Y = {x0 }, (3.52)

K(∅) p̆(c|X (∩∅//{x0 }) //X ′′ ) ,

Although formulas (3.46) and (3.47) are satisfied
for any s.e., but in the proposed frame method
(3.49) and (3.50) we use only half-rare s.e. (s.hr.e.) [9]. This, however, does not detract from
the generality of its application, since the setphenomenon transformations are any s.e. can be
obtained from its half-rare projection [9].
We will make the following useful
Note 16

If the frame s.e. X in (3.46) ans (3.47) is

example:

then the both inserted s.e.’s X ′ = {x′1 , ..., x′N −1 } and
X ′′ = {x′′1 , ..., x′′N −1 }, and together with them and the
s.e. X are also half-rare by its Definition (3.48). In
other words, their marginal probabilities from p̆′ =
{p′1 , ..., p′N −1 } и p̆′′ = {p′′1 , ..., p′′N −1 } do not exceed the
corresponding marginal probabilities events from
the frame s.e. X:
p1 > p′1 , ..., pN −2
p1 > p′′1 , ..., pN −2
> p′N −1 ,
> p′′N −1 ,
(3.55)
and marginal probabilities from p̆N −1
=
{p1 , ..., pN −1 } are half-rare by definition. Thus,
any half-rare N -s.e. is composed by the frame
method with the formula (3.47) from two inserted
(N − 1)-s.e.’s X ′ and X ′′ , which are required to be
half-rare.

4 The Kopula theory for monoplets of
events
Theory of the Kopula of monoplets of events (1Kopula) seemed to be completed by the formula
(2.35). This formula defines the 1-Kopula of
an arbitrary monoplet of events {x} with {x}monoplet of marginal probabilities p̆ = {px } ∈
[0, 1]x in the unique form:
K (p̆) = K (px ) = px ,

the way, the necessary condition also follows from (3.57).

s′′ = xc ∩ y ⊆ xc ,
ps′ + ps′′ = py 6 px 6 1/2 6 1 − px .
Consequently, the 1-Kopulas of inserted monoplets
(5.4) and (5.5) are bound by the restriction on the
sum of their marginal probabilities:

We get the following formulas:
p(xy//{x, y}) = p(s′ //X ′ ) = ps′ ,
s′c ∩ y = xc ∩ y
p(x//{x, y}) = p(∅//X ′ ) − 1 + px = px − ps′ ,
(5.10)
p(y//{x, y}) = p(s′′ //X ′′ ) = py − ps′ ,
p(∅//{x, y}) = p(∅//X ′′ ) − px = 1 − py − px + ps′ .
These formulas express the e.p.d. of the 1st kind of
the p̆-ordered half-rare frame doublet of events X =
{x, y} through the e.p.d. of the 1st kind of inserted
monoplets X ′ and X ′′ , and the probability of frame
event x, and, in the final result, through their
marginal probabilities px and py , and marginal
probability ps′ of the inserted monoplet X ′ = {s′ } =
{x ∩ y}.
The formulas (5.10) express values of the 2-Kopula
of p̆-ordered doublet X = {x, y} through 1-Kopulas
of inserted monoplets X ′ = {s′ } and X ′′ = {s′′ }.
Rewrite this in a form of an explicit recurrent

p(x//{y, x}) = p(s′′ //X ′′ ) = px − ps′ ,

These formulas express the e.p.d. of the 1st kind

6 The Kopula theory for triplets of
events
6.1 Independent 3-Kopula
First, without the frame method, which is not
required here, consider the simplest example of
a 3-Kopula K ∈ Ψ1X of the (N − 1)-set of events
X = {x, y, z}, i.e., a 1-function on the unit Xcube. In other words, construct such a nonnegative
bounded numerical function
6.3 The frame method for constructing a
half-rare triplet of events
K : [0, 1]⊗X → [0, 1],
that for all z ∈ X
∑
x∈X⊆X

)
In order to construct by the frame method the
p̆-ordered
frame half-rare triplet of events X =
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
{x, y, z} with the X-set of marginal probabilities p̆ =
{px , py , pz }, where
= wx .
Such a simple example of a 1-function on X-cube is
so-called independent (N − 1)-Kopula, which for all
free variables w̆ = {wx , wy , wz } ∈ [0, 1]x ⊗ [0, 1]y ⊗
[0, 1]z = [0, 1]⊗X is defined by the formula:
K (w̆) = wx wy wz ,

the following 23 values:

marginal probaboility py = 0.1, ..., 0.9, 1.0, where the white color
corresponds to points in which probabilities of all terraced events are
1/8. The orientation of axes: (px , pz ) = (horizontal, vertical).
1/2 > px > py > pz > 0,
(6.4)
let’s suppose that
X = {x} + {y, z} = {x} + (X ′ (+)X ′′ )
(6.5)
and in our disposal we have two inserted half-rare
doublets of events
X ′ = {s′ , t′ } и X ′′ = {s′′ , t′′ },
with the known 2-Kopulas (see Fig. 11) which by the
definition satisfy the following inclusions:
s′ = x ∩ y ⊆ x, t′ = x ∩ z ⊆ x, s′ ∪ t′ ⊆ x,
(6.6)
s′′ = xc ∩ y ⊆ xc , t′′ = xc ∩ z ⊆ xc, s′′ ∪ t′′ ⊆ xc .

following sense:y = s′ + s′′, z = t′ + t′′ и s′ ∪ t′ ⊆ x, s′′ ∪ t′′ ⊆ xc .

In view of the assumptions made (see Fig. 11)
In addition, the third pair of inclusions under the
assumptions (6.6) means that
ter(xyz//X) = x∩ y ∩ z = s′ ∩ t′ = ter(s′ t′ //X ′ ),
ter(xy//X) = x∩ y ∩ z c = s′ ∩ t′c = ter(s′ //X ′ ),

ter(y//X) = xc ∩ y ∩ z c = s′′ ∩ t′′c = ter(s′′ //X ′′ ),
ter(z//X) = xc ∩ y c ∩ z = s′′c ∩ t′′ = ter(t′′ //X ′′ ),
these 6 terraced events are defined. All of them are
generated by the frame half-rare triplet X, with the
exception of two terraced events
ter(x//X) = x ∩ y c ∩ z c ,
ter(∅//X) = xc ∩ y c ∩ z c ,
where
ps′ t′ = p(s′ t′ //X ′ ) = P(s′ ∩ t′ ),
ps′′ t′′ = p(s′′ t′′ //X ′′ ) = P(s′′ ∩ t′′ )
ter(∅//X) = xc − s′′ ∪ t′′ ,
Taking into account the Fréchet inequalities the
restrictions (6.13) and (6.14) are equivalent to the
following inequalities for 4 parameters ps′ , pt′ , ps′ t′

THE XIV FAMEMS’2015 CONFERENCE
are the lower and upper Frechet-boundaries of
probabilities of double intersections of inserted
doublets X ′ and X ′′ with respect to the frame
monoplet {x}.
Let’s write the formulas (6.11), using only these
4 parameters and remembering the restrictions
(6.16):
p(xyz//X) = ps′ t′ ,
p(xy//X) = ps′ − ps′ t′ ,
p(xz//X) = pt′ − ps′ t′ ,
where, for example, for X = {y, z}
{y, z}(∩{x}//{x}) = {y ∩ x, z ∩ x} ⊆ X ′ = {s′ , t′ },
(6.23)
{y, z}(∩∅//{x}) = {y ∩ xc , z ∩ xc } ⊆ X ′′ = {s′′ , t′′ },
and the corresponding sets of marginal
probabilities of inserted doublets X ′ и X ′′ have the
form
p̆(c|{y,z}
(∩{x}//{x})
p̆(c|{y,z}
p(x//X) = px − ps′ − pt′ + ps′ t′ ,
(6.18)
p(yz//X) = ps′′ t′′ ,
p(y//X) = py − ps′ − ps′′ t′′ ,
p(z//X) = pz − pt′ − ps′′ t′′ ,
p(∅//X) = 1 − px − py − pz + ps′ + pt′ + ps′′ t′′ .
6.4 The frame method: recurrent formulas for
a half-rare triplet of events
The formulas (6.18) as well as the formulas (6.11)
can be written in the form of special cases of
recurrence formulas (3.52) and (3.53) from Note 15
for the triplet X = {x, y, z} = {x} + {y, z} = {x} + X :

1/2 > px > py > pz > pv > 0,
let’s suppose that
X = {x} + {y, z, v} = {x} + (X ′ (+)X ′′ )
(7.2)
and we have two inserted half-rare triplets of events
X ′ = {s′ , t′ , u′ } и X ′′ = {s′′ , t′′ , u′′ },
with the known 3-Kopulas, which by definition
satisfy the following inclusions (see Fig. 12):
s′ = x ∩ y ⊆ x, t′ = x ∩ z ⊆ x, u′ = x ∩ v ⊆ x,
s′ ∪ t′ ∪ u′ ⊆ x,
(7.3)

Let us dwell in more detail on Fréchet-restrictions
for 11 = 24 − 4 − 1 functional parameters of
a Kopula of quadruplet of events, to derive the
recurrent sequence of such Fréchet-restrictions,
which begins with Fréchet-restrictions for a
doublet of events (5.36), continues with Fréchetrestrictions for a triplet of events (6.16), and
should be supported by Fréchet-restrictions for
parameters of a Kopula of quadruplet of events
X = {x, y, z, v} and so on.
To this end, we first recall Fréchet-restrictions for
parameters of Kopulas of a doublet and a triplet of
events.
7.2.1 Fréchet-restrictions for a doublet of events
For a Kopula of doublet of events, the Fréchetrestrictions of a 1 = 22 − 2 − 1 parameter of inserted
monoplets X ′ and X ′′ have the form:

The recurrent formulas, which express the e.p.d.
of the 1st kind of p̆-ordered half-rare quadruplet
of events X through the e.p.d. of the 1st kind
of two inserted triplets X ′ and X ′′ , follow from
the general recurrent formulas (3.52) and (3.53)
in Note 15 as well as in cases of a doublet and
a triplet of events. And therefore, and because
of the cumbersomeness, these formulas are not
represented here, but are only illustrated by Venn
diagrams (see Fig. 12).

probabilities of double intersections of events from
inserted doublets X ′ and X ′′ with respect to the

The case of triplet of events gives a new
level of Fréchet-restrictions (the two last Fréchetboundaries in (7.6)), when probabilities of double
intersections of events from inserted doublets
have Fréchet-boundaries that depend not only on
marginal probabilities of the triplet, but and on
inserted marginal probabilities on which, in turn,
the usual Fréchet-restrictions mentioned above are
imposed.

the recurrent Fréchet-restrictions and recurrent
Fréchet-boundaries.

The all Fréchet-restrictions in the considered
frame methods for a doublet, a triplet and
a quadruplet of events differ from the usual
Fréchet-restrictions, which are functions of only
corresponding marginal probabilities. They
differ in that they have a recurrent structure.
When, as the power of intersections of inserted
events increases, the Fréchet-boundaries of their
probabilities are functions of Fréchet-boundaries
for probabilities of intersections of lower power.
The recurrent formulas for Kopula of a quadruplet
of events immediately can be written in the form
of special cases of recurrence formulas (3.52) and
(3.53) from Note 15 for the quadruplet X =
{x, y, z, v} = {x} + {y, z, v} = {x} + X :
= max{0, ps′ + pt′ − px },

= min{ps′ t′ , ps′ u′ , pt′ u′ },
= max{0, ps′′ t′′ + ps′′ u′′ + pt′′ u′′ − 2(1 − px )},
= min{ps′′ t′′ , ps′′ u′′ , pt′′ u′′ }
(7.8)
are the lower and upper Fréchet-boundaries of
probabilities of double and triple intersections of
events from the inserted triplets X ′ and X ′′ with
respect to the frame monoplet {x}.
The case of a quadruplet of events gives the
following level of Fréchet-restrictions (the four last
Fréchet-boundaries in (7.8)), when probabilities of
triple intersections of events from inserted triplets
have Fréchet-boundaries that depend directly not
so much on marginal probabilities as on inserted
probabilities of double intersections, on which, in
turn, Fr’echet-restrictions of the previous level,
mentioned above, are imposed.

of the N -Kopula K ∈ Ψ1X of an N -set of events
X, i.e., a 1-function on the unit X-hypercube. In
other words, we construct a nonnegative bounded
numerical function
K : [0, 1]⊗X → [0, 1],
that for all z ∈ X

K w̆(c|X//X) = wx .

Judging by the form of Fréchet-boundaries и
Fréchet-restrictions for a doublet, a triplet and a
quadruplet of events, collected in paragraph 7.2,
these Fréchet-restrictions consists of two groups,
such that one of them, which refers to the
parameters of the inserted (N − 1)-s.e. X ′ , consists
of 2N−1−1 Fréchet-restrictions, and the other, which
refers to the parameters of the inserted (N −1)-s.e.
X ′′ , consists of 2N−1 −(N −1)−1 Fréchet-restrictions.
And, as it should:
and so on.
Note 19 (recurrent formulas for Fréchetboundaries and Fréchet-restrictions). Probabilities
of n-intersections (n = 2, ..., N−1) of events from the
inserted s.e.’s X ′ and X ′′ have the recurrent Fréchetrestrictions (see paragraph 7.2) that are written
by denotations from Note 18 by the following way
with respect to X ′ :

2 −N − 1 = (2
N−1

−(N −1)−1).
(8.11)
The first group, related to the inserted (N − 1)-s.e.
X ′ , contains Fréchet-restrictions for probabilities
of the second kind
(
)
∩
′
x ,
pX ′ //X ′ = P
(8.12)
x′ ∈X ′
that are numbered by nonempty subsets X ′ ̸= ∅ of
inserted (N−1)-s.e. X ′ (the number od such subsets:
2N−1 − 1); the second group, related to the inserted
(N −1)-s.e. X ′′ , contains Fréchet-restrictions for the
such probabilities of the second kind:
(
)
∩
x′′ ,
pX ′′ //X ′′ = P
(8.13)
x′′ ∈X ′′
′′
′′
that are numbered by subsets X ⊆ X with the
power |X ′′ | > 2 (number of such subsets: 2N−1−(N −
1)−1).
Note 18 (denotations for subsets of fixed power).
To more conveniently represent the recurrent
Fréchet-restrictions, agree to denote
Xn′ ⊆ X ′ ⇐⇒ |Xn′ | = n,
X ′′n ⊆ X ′′ ⇐⇒ |X ′′n | = n.
(8.14)
the subsets consisting of n events. In this notation,
for example, the X–set of marginal probabilities
p̆(c|X//X) is written as the X-set probabilities of the
second kind that are numbered by monoplets of
events X1 = {x}, x ∈ X:
{p0 , p1 , . . . , pN−1 } = {pX1 //X , X1 ⊆ X}.
(8.15)
The set of probabilities of double intersection of
events x ∈ X, i.e., the set of probabilities of the
second kind that are numbered by doublets, has the
form:
{p{x,y}//X , {x, y} ⊆ X} = {pX2 //X , X2 ⊆ X}.
(8.16)
And the set of probabilities of triple intersections
of events x ∈ X, i.e., the set of probabilities of the
second kind that are numbered by triplets, has the
form:
{p{x,y,z}//X , {x, y, z} ⊆ X} = {pX3 //X , X3 ⊆ X} (8.17)

which are restricted by marginal probabilities
of events from the (N − 1)-s.e. X and which
together with the recurrent Fréchet-restrictions
(8.18, 8.21) form the all totality of recurrent Fréchetrestrictions. This totality consists of 2N − N − 1
restrictions. And recurrent the lower and upper
Fréchet-boundaries in these restrictions are defined
by recurrent formulas (8.19, 8.22).
9 Parametrization of functional
parameters of Kopula by
Fréchet-correlations of inserted
events
The parametrization of functional parameter pt′ by
the double Fréchet-correlation is similar:
pt′ (px , py , pz ) =
{
px pz − Korxz Kov−
xz , Korxz < 0,
=
px pz + Korxz Kov+
xz , Korxz > 0
{
px pz + Korxz px pz ,
Korxz < 0,
=
px pz + Korxz (pz − px pz ), Korxz > 0.
(9.7)
9.2 Inserted triple covariances and
Fréchet-correlations
Let’s consider parametrization on an example of
functional parameters ps′ , pt′ , ps′ t′ и ps′′ t′′ of 3Kopula of the p̆-ordered half-rare triplet X =
{x, y, z}, which in the frame method is constructed
from two inserted pseudo-2-Kopulas.
We recall first that an absolute triple Fréchetcorrelation [5] of three events x, y and z is defined
similarly to the double one:
Kovxyz
, Kovxyz < 0,
|Kov−

(9.8)
Korxyz =

9.1 Parametrization of functional parameters
ps′ and pt′
The Fréchet-restriction of the functional parameter
ps′ = ps′ (px , py , pz )
0 6 ps′ 6 py ,
(9.1)
that in the frame method has a sense of probability
of double intersection of events x and y:
ps′ = pxy//X = P(x ∩ y),
(9.2)
is baced on the notion of Fréchet-correlation [5]
Kovxy

Korxy =

Kovxy

where
Kovxy = P(x ∩ y) − P(x)P(y)
(9.4)
is a covariance of events x and y, and
Kov−
xy = max{0, px + py − 1} − px py = −px py ,
Kov+
xy = min{px , py } − px py = py − px py
(9.5)
are its the lower and upper Fréchet-boundaries.
From Definition (9.3) we get the parametrization
of functional parameter ps′ by the double Fréchetcorrelation on the following form:
ps′ (px , py , pz ) =
{
px py − Korxy Kov−
xy , Korxy < 0,
=
px py + Korxy Kov+
xy , Korxy > 0
{
px py + Korxy px py ,
Korxy < 0,
=
px py + Korxy (py − px py ), Korxy > 0.
(9.6)
where
Kovxyz = P(x ∩ y ∩ z) − P(x)P(y)P(z)
(9.9)
is the triple covariance of events x, y and z, and
Kov−
xyz = max{0, px + py + pz − 2} − px py pz =
= −px py pz ,
Kov+
xyz
= min{px , py , pz } − px py pz =
(9.10)
= pz − px py pz
are its absolute the lower and upper Fréchetboundaries.
The definition of the inserted triple Fréchetcorrelation differs of the definition of absolute
one (9.8) in that its the lower and upper Fréchetboundaries must depend on the e.p.d. of the
inserted doublets X ′ and X ′′ . So they differ from
absolute Fréchet-boundaries (9.10) and have the
form (9.19), where
p−
s′ t′ = max{0, ps′ + pt′ − px },
p+
s′ t′ = min{ps′ , pt′ },
p−
s′′ t′′ = max{0, px + py + pz − 1 − ps′ − pt′ },
(9.11)
p+
s′′ t′′ = min{py − ps′ , pz − pt′ },
are the lower and upper Fréchet-boundaries of
probabilities of double intersections of events
from inserted doublets X ′ and X ′′ with respect
to the frame monoplet {x}, which should serve
inserted the lower and upper Fréchet-boundaries
of probabilities of triple intersections (9.20) of
events from the triplet X = {x} + (X ′ (+)X ′′ ).
However, as might be expected, these Fréchetboundaries are not always ready to serve as
VOROBYEV
109
the lower and upper Fréchet-boundaries for
probabilities of triple intersections.
For this reason, it is necessary to modify the
definitions of two inserted triple covariances and,
respectively, — inserted the lower and upper
Fréchet-boundaries of these covariances.
The first modification of definitions (see Fig.

probabilities of triple intersections of events:

(9.20)

From definitions (9.18) and (9.11) we get the
parametrization of functional parameter ps′ t′ of the

The parametrization of functional parameter ps′′ t′′

• the above parametrization algorithm for
functional parameters of 3-Kopula extends
to the parametrization of the functional
parameters of N -Kopulas by inserted Fréchetcorrelations of higher orders.
10 Examples of Kopulas of some
families of sets of events
10.1 Examples of different 2-Kopulas with a
functional parameter within Frechet
boundaries
Consider in Fig.’s12 13, 14, 15, and 16 a number
of examples of 2-Kopulas of doublets of half-rare
events X = {x, y} and its set-phenomena X(c|x) =
{x, y c }, X(c|y) = {xc , y}, and X(c|xy) = {xc , y c }, each
of which is characterized by its own functional
parameter P(x ∩ y) = pxy (wx , wy ), lying within the
Fréchet boundaries:
0 6 pxy (wx , wy ) 6 min{wx , wy }.

Upper 2-Kopula of Fréchet (embedded):
pxy (wx , wy ) = min{wx , wy }.

Note 20 (about parametrization of functional
parameters of 3-Kopula by Fréchet-correlations).
The parametrization of the four functional
parameters ps′ , pt′ , ps′ t′ and ps′′ t′′ of 3-Kopula of
the p̆-ordered half-rare triplet X = {x, y, z} by two
double Fréchet-correlations Korxy and Korxz (9.3)
and by two inserted triple Fréchet-correlations
Kor({x})
and Kor(∅)
xyz
xyz (9.18) has the following
advantages. Each of four Fréchet-correlations
is a numerical characteristics of dependency of
events with values from fixed interval [−1, +1].
And these values clearly indicate the proximity to
Fréchet-boundaries and to indepedent 3-Kopula.
The value “−1” indicates to the lower Fréchetboundary, the value “+1” — to the upper Fréchetboundary, and the value “0” — to independent
events. For example, the equality of all these
four Fréchet-correlations to zero determines a
family of independent 3-Kopulas. Advantages of
the proposed idea of parametrization of functional
parameters of 3-Kopula are that
Independent 2-Kopula of Fréchet:
pxy (wx , wy ) = wx wy .
Lower 2-Kopula of Fréchet (minimum-intersected):
pxy (wx , wy ) = max{0, wx + wy − 1}.
(10.4)
Half-independent 2-Kopula:
pxy (wx , wy ) = wx wy /2.
(10.5)
Half-embedded 2-Kopula:
pxy (wx , wy ) = min{wx , wy }/2.
(10.6)
Arbitrary-embedded 2-Kopula:
pxy (wx , wy ) =
= min{wx , wy }(1 + sin(15(wx − wy )))/2.
(10.7)
Continuously-arbitrary-embedded 2-Kopula:
pxy (wx , wy ) =
= wx wy + (α(wx , wy ) − wx wy )β(wx , wy ),
• an each Fréchet-correlation can take arbitrary
value from [−1, +1] without any connection
with the values of the other three Fréchetcorrelations;

on unit squares in conditional colors are shown too, where the
white color corresponds to the points at which the probabilities
of terraced events are 1/4.

half-rare N -s.e.’s using
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
the following technique, based on the obvious
invariance property of permutations of events in
s.e.: “as events from some s.e. do not order, the
s.e. will not change "; and very useful in practical
calculations.
We denote by
X∗ = {x∗0 , x∗1 , ..., x∗N −1 },
(11.25)
— the p̆-ordered
half-rare N -s.e., which consists
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿
from the same events, that an “arbitrary” p̆non-ordered
half-rare N -s.e.

i.e.,
X∗ = {x∗0 , x∗1 , ..., x∗N−1 } = {x0 , x1 , ..., xN−1 } = X, (11.27)
but arranged in descending order of their
probabilities. In other words, the X∗ -set of marginal
probabilities
p̆∗ = {p∗0 , p∗1 , ..., p∗N −1 },
(11.28)
is such that
1/2 > p∗0 > p∗1 > ... > p∗N −1

(properties of functions of an unordered set
Equations (11.32) and (11.33) should
not be regarded as a unique property of the Kopula
invariance with respect to permutations of its
arguments. This property is possessed by any
Kopula, since it is a function of an unordered
set of arguments. Therefore it is quite natural
that the Kopula is invariant under permutations
of the arguments, like any other such function.
This property must be remembered only in
practical calculations, when we volence-nolens
must introduce an arbitrary order on a disordered
set in order to be able to perform calculations.

11.5 Geometric interpretation of
set-phenomenon renumberings
For a subset of events V ⊆ X V -phenomenon
renumbering of the terrace events, generated by
(N − 1)-s.h-r.e. X, is based on the replacement of
events from the subset V c = X − V by their
complements:
X(c|V ) = V + (V c )(c) =
= {x, x ∈ V } + {xc , x ∈ V c },

In the form of unit squares (with the origin in the bottom left corner of
each square), the four Venn diagrams of doublets of half-rare events X =
X(c|xy) and its set-phenomena X(c|x) = {x, y c }, X(c|y) = {xc , y} and
X(c|∅) = {xc , y c } are shown; the terrace events are marked with subsets
of the doublet of half-rare events X or its set-phenomena, consisting of
both half-rare events and its complements; on each diagram pairs of
events, from which the doublet of half-rare events or its set-phenomena
consists, are shaded (aqua).
from which the mutually inverse set-phenomenon
renumbering formulas follow:
Look at the X-set (11.41) as a 2X -hyper-point from a
half-rare 2N -vertex simplex

(11.42)
∑
= {p(X//X), X ⊆ X} : p(X//X) > 0, p(X//X)=1 ,
for V ⊆ X and X ⊆ X.
Therefore, the V -phenomenon renumbering of the
terrace events, generated by (N − 1)-s.h-r.e. X, by
the formulas (11.40) is geometrically interpreted
on the (N − 1)-dimensional Venn diagram of this
s.e. as a reflection of the X-hypercube relative to
those hyperplanes that are orthogonal to the x-axes
numbered by the events x ∈ V c ⊆ X (see Fig. 30 for
the doublet of events).
11.6 Projection of the 2X -simplex on the
X-hypercube
Take an arbitrary (N − 1)-s.e. X ⊆ A with e.p.d. of
the 1st kind, which, as is known [5], is defined as
the 2X -set of probabilities of terrace events of the
1st kind
{p(X//X), X ⊆ X}.
(11.41)
X⊆X
to each vertex of which the degenerate e.p.d.
corresponds. In this e.p.d., as is known, only one of
the 1st kind of probability, equal to one, is different
from zero. Number the vertex 2X of the simplex
S2X by the subset X ⊆ X. The degenerate e.p.d.
of the 1st kind with p(X//X) = 1 corresponds to
this vertex. And associate the vertex f rakX with
the hypercube [0, 1] otimes f rakX , numbered by the
f rakX -set:
каждой вершине которого, соответствует вырожденное e.p.d., у которого, как известно,
лишь одна вероятность of the 1st kind, равная
единице, отлична от нуля. Занумеруйте подмножеством X ⊆ X вершину 2X -симплекса S2X ,
которой соответствует вырожденное e.p.d. of the
1st kind с p(X//X) = 1. And associate with it the
vertex of X-hypercube [0, 1]⊗X , numbering by the
following X-set:
{ΥX//X (x), x ∈ X}

are values of the indicator of subset X ⊆ X on

pr : S2X → [0, 1]⊗X
of the 2X -simplex S2X on X-hypercube [0, 1]⊗X by the
following formula:
pr({p(X//X), X ⊆ X}) = {px , x ∈ X}
(11.45)
where
px =
∑
p(X//X)ΥX//X (x) =

and the X-vertex of the 2X -simplex, i.e., the vertex
enumerated by the subset X0 = X is projected
into the X-set {1, ..., 1}, consisting of the unit
probabilities of marginal events, in other words,
projected into the X-vertex of the X-hypercube, i.e.,
to the vertex opposite to the origin:
{
1, X = X,
(11.48)
{1, ..., 1} ∼ p(X//X) =
0, X ̸= X ⊆ X.
In general, due to the linearity of the projection
(11.45), the set of such points of the 2X -simplex
that project into the same point of the X-hypercube
is convex and forms a sub-simplex of smaller
dimension.
11.7 Half-rare events on Venn (N −1)-diagram
(11.46)
p(X//X)
x∈X⊆X
is a convex combination of hypercube vertices,
which, as known [5], is intepreted as the
probability of event x ∈ X.
With projection (11.45) vertices of the 2X -simplex
maps to vertices of the X-hypercube, and edges
map to its edges or diagonals (see [6], [7] and Fig.
32).
Example 4 (projections of vertices of a 2X -simplex).
For example, the vertex of the 2X -simplex
enumerated by the subset X0 ⊆ X corresponds
to the degenerate e.p.d. of the 1st kind with
probabilities
{
1, X = X0 ,
p(X//X) =
0, X0 ̸= X ⊆ X.
From (11.46) you obtain that
{
1, x ∈ X0 ,
px = ΥX0 //X (x) =
0, x ∈ X − X0 .
Therefore, by (11.43)
{px , x ∈ X} = {ΥX0 //X (x), x ∈ X}
We will figure out how a Venn (N − 1)-diagram of
an arbitrary (N −1)-s.e. is constructed on the basis
of the projection (11.45), in which the role of the
space of universal elementary events Ω is played
by the unit (N − 1)–dimensional hypercube. Such
a Venn (N − 1)-diagram puts terraced hypercubes
generated by dividing a unit hypercube in half
orthogonal to each of the N axes into a oneto-one correspondence with the terraced events
generated by the given (N −1)-s.e.
Take first (N − 1)-s.h-r.e. X and represent its Venn

In particular, the ∅-vertex of the 2 -simplex, i.e., the

The formula (11.53) once again points to a oneto-one correspondence between the 2N -space of
terraced hypercubes (11.50) from the Venn (N −

terraced events, generated by X.

11.8 Set-phenomenon spectrum of functions
on the X-hypercube
Definition 11 (set-phenomenon spectrum of
functions on the X-hypercube ). With each function
ψ ∈ ΨX , defined on the X-hypercube, the 2N
functions are connected. These functions are
defined on the X-hypercube by formulas:
(
)
ψX (w̆) = ψ w̆(c|X//X)
for X ⊆ X. The family of the all such functions
{ψX : X ⊆ X}
is called the set-phenomenon X-spectrum of the
function ψ.

12 Remaining behind the scenes
In the text and, in particular, in the Appendix, the
value of the p̆-ordering condition of the set of events
is specified, which complicates the computational
implementation of the above algorithms in the
frame method of constructing Kopulas as set
functions of the set of marginal probabilities. The
reason for this complication lies in the properties
of the set-functions, i.e., functions of a set that
differ from the properties of arbitrary functions of
several variables. The point is that the set-function
of the set of marginal probabilities is necessarily
a symmetric function of the marginal probability
vector (Cartesian representation of Kopula, see
Prolegomenon 9), to determine which it is sufficient
to specify its values only on those vectors
whose components are ordered, for example, in
descending order, so that the remaining values can
be determined by the appropriate permutations
of the arguments. For example, the Cartesian
representation of an N -Kopula in RN is sufficient
to define on the 1/N ! part of the unit N -hypercube
so that this representation becomes definite on the
whole hypercube by continuing permutations of
arguments.

joint distribution of a given set of marginal
distributions. The author encountered this when
developing the program code, which calculated
all the illustrations for the Kopula examples. The
problem is solved programmatically, but requires
a detailed description of this solution (see Fig.
33 and 34), which, of course, together with the
126
eventological theory of copula deserves a separate
publication.
In conclusion, I can not resist the temptation to
quote the formulation of the tenth Prolegomenon
of the Kopula theory, which reveals the content of
these my next publications.
Prolegomenon 10 (Cartesian representation of
the N -Kopula defines 2N classical copulas of N
marginal uniform distributions on [0, 1]).
13 On the inevitable development of
language
This first work on the theory of the eventological
copula is over at the end of July 2015. It sums up the
work on the eventological theory of probabilities,
raising the theory of Kopula to its apex. The
work is written in a mathematical language, in
which the state of the eventological theory was
reflected precisely at the time when the author
unexpectedly, but by the way, got a brilliant
example of two statisticians from sociology and
ecology, who immediately forced him to postpone
polishing of the Kopula theory for almost a
year in order to immediately immerse themselves
in the destructive creation of a new unifying
eventological theory of experience and chance by
the agonizing fusion of two dual theories: the
eventological theory of believabilities and the
eventological theory of probabilities.
Because of this, the mathematical language of
this work is just a pretension to the eventological
probability theory, which does not yet know
that there is a very close twin that exists
— the eventological theory of believabilities.
Therefore, in the terminology of this work,
those crucial changes in the basic concepts and
notations that were invented to construct a
unifying eventological theory did not find any
worthy reflection. Of course, the new unifying
theory suggests the development of the original
mathematical language of dual Kopulas, one of
which hosts the eventological probability theory,
and the other — in the eventological believability
theory.
⋆ The English version of this article was published
on November 12, 2017. Therefore, my later works
[12, 11, 10], which expand the eventological
formalism, including the bra-ket formalism of the
theory of experience and chance, are added to the
list of references.
