Let 
 be a 2-D distribution function with marginal distribution functions 
 and 
. Then there exists a Copula 
such that
Conversely, for any univariate distribution functions 
 and 
 and any Copula 
, the function 
 is a
two-dimensional distribution function with marginals 
 and 
.  Furthermore, if 
 and 
 are continuous, then 
 is
unique.
