We consider copulas with a given diagonal section and compute the explicit density of the unique optimal copula which maximizes the entropy. In this sense, this copula is the least informative among the copulas with a given diagonal section. We give an explicit criterion on the diagonal section...

As a basis of the ICP Forests feasibility study this overview describes national activities in the field of forest biodiversity monitoring. It takes into account 15 participating countries of ICP Forests, including those that already in 2002 were interested in a participation in an ICP Forests...
