Package 'VC2copula'

Title: Extend the 'copula' Package with Families and Models from 'VineCopula'
Description: Provides new classes for (rotated) BB1, BB6, BB7, BB8, and Tawn copulas, extends the existing Gumbel and Clayton families with rotations, and allows to set up a vine copula model using the 'copula' API. Corresponding objects from the 'VineCopula' API can easily be converted.
