\title{Goodness-of-Fit Testing Transformations for (Nested) Archimedean Copulas}
\description{
  \code{htrafo()} the transformation described in Hofert and Hering (2011).

  \code{rtrafo()} the transformation of Rosenblatt (1952).
}
\usage{
htrafo(u, cop, include.K=TRUE, n.MC=0)
rtrafo(u, cop, n.MC=0)
}
\arguments{
  \item{u}{\eqn{n\times d}{n x d}-matrix of (pseudo-/copula-)observations (each
    value in \eqn{[0,1]}) from the copula \code{cop} based on which the
    transformation is carried out. Consider applying the function
    \code{\link{pobs}} first in order to obtain \code{u}.}
  \item{cop}{the \code{"\linkS4class{outer_nacopula}"} with specified
    parameters based on which the transformation is computed (currently only
    Archimedean copulas are provided).}
  \item{n.MC}{parameter \code{n.MC} for \code{\link{K}} (for \code{htrafo})
    or for approximating the derivatives involved (for \code{rtrafo}).}
  \item{include.K}{logical indicating whether the last component, involving the
    Kendall distribution function \code{\link{K}}, is used in \code{htrafo}.}
}
\details{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{gnacopulatrafo}}{Given a \eqn{d}-dimensional random vector \eqn{\bm{U}} following an
      Archimedean copula \eqn{C} with generator \eqn{\psi}, Hering and
      Hofert (2011) showed that \eqn{\bm{U}^\prime\sim\mathrm{U}[0,1]^d}{U'~U[0,1]^d}, where
      \deqn{U_{j}^\prime=\left(\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{j}\psi^{-1}(U_{k})}{
	  \sum_{k=1}^{j+1}\psi^{-1}(U_{k})}\right)^{j},\ j\in\{1,\dots,d-1\},\
	U_{d}^\prime=K(C(\bm{U})).}{%
	U'_j=((psi^{-1}(U_1)+...+psi^{-1}(U_j)) /
	(psi^{-1}(U_1)+...+psi^{-1}(U_{j+1})))^j,  j in {1,...,d-1},
	U'_d=K(C(U)).}
      \code{gnacopulatrafo} applies this transformation row-wise to
      \code{u} and thus returns either an \eqn{n\times d}{n x d}- or an
      \eqn{n\times (d-1)}{n x (d-1)}-matrix, depending on whether the last
      component \eqn{U^\prime_d}{U'_d} which involves the (possibly
      numerically challenging) Kendall distribution function \eqn{K} is used
      (\code{include.K=TRUE}) or not (\code{include.K=FALSE}).}

    \item{\code{rtrafo}}{Given a \eqn{d}-dimensional random vector
      \eqn{\bm{U}} following an Archimedean copula \eqn{C} with
      generator \eqn{\psi}, the conditional copula of \eqn{U_j=u_j} given
      \eqn{U_1=u_1,\dots,U_{j-1}=u_{j-1}}{U_1=u_1,...,U_{j-1}=u_{j-1}} is
      given by
      \deqn{C(u_j\,|\,u_1,\dots,u_{j-1})=
	\frac{\psi^{(j-1)} \Bigl(\sum_{k=1}^j    \psi^{(-1)}(u_k)\Bigr)}{
	      \psi^{(j-1)} \Bigl(\sum_{k=1}^{j-1}\psi^{(-1)}(u_k)\Bigr)}.}{%
	C(u_j | u_1,...,u_{j-1}) = (psi^{(j-1)}(sum(k=1..j)  psi^{(-1)}(u_k))) /
        (psi^{(j-1)}(sum(k=1..j-1) psi^{(-1)}(u_k))).}
      This formula is either evaluated with the exact derivatives or, if
      \code{n.MC} is positive, via Monte Carlo; see \code{\link{psiDabsMC}}.
      Rosenblatt (1952) showed that
      \eqn{\bm{U}^\prime\sim\mathrm{U}[0,1]^d}{U'~U[0,1]^d}, where
      \eqn{U_1^\prime=U_1}{U'_1=U_1},
      \eqn{U_2^\prime=C(U_2\,|\,U_1)}{U'_2=C(U_2|U_1)}, ..., and
      \eqn{U_d^\prime=C(U_d\,|\,U_1,\dots,U_{d-1})}{U'_d=C(U_d|U_1,...,U_{d-1})}.
      \code{rtrafo} applies this transformation row-wise to
      \code{u} and thus returns an \eqn{n\times d}{n x d}-matrix.
    }
  }
}
\value{
  \code{htrafo()} returns an
  \eqn{n\times d}{n x d}- or \eqn{n\times (d-1)}{n x (d-1)}-matrix
  (depending on whether \code{include.K} is \code{TRUE} or
  \code{FALSE}) containing the transformed input \code{u}.

  \code{rtrafo()} returns an \eqn{n\times d}{n x d}-matrix containing the
  transformed input \code{u}.
