Remark 3.1. The functions g and ˜g in Theorems 2.1-3.3 are related in the following<br />

way: gi1,...,ic(xi1, . . . , xic) = ˜gi1,...,ic(Fi1(xi1), . . . , Fic(xic)).<br />

Theorems 2.1–3.3 provide a general device for constructing multivariate copulas<br />

and distributions. E.g., taking in (3.1) and (3.2) n = 2, ˜g1,2(t1, t2) = α(1−<br />

2t1)(1−2t2), α∈[−1, 1], we get the family of bivariate Eyraud–Farlie–Gumbel–<br />

Morgenstern copulas Cα(u1, u2) = u1u2(1 + α(1−u1)(1−u2)) and corresponding<br />

distributions Fα(x1, x2) = F1(x1)F2(x2)(1+α(1−F1(x1))(1−F2(x2)). More generally,<br />

taking ˜gi1,...,ic(ti1, . . . , tic) = 0, 1≤i1
