Description:
Using an iterated function system, the authors construct families of copulas whose supports are fractals. In particular, they show that the members of one family have supports with arbitrary Hausdorff dimensions in the interval (1,2). They also employ those copulas to construct more general bivariate distribution functions with fractal supports.
