Correlation matrix	Definition
	Pearson correlation obtained based on the prescribed correlation function
	Nearest correlation matrix to , if is not positive semidefinite
	Pearson correlation from that are sampled using the IRDR procedure
	Pearson correlation in Gaussian space using samples mapped from that is simulated using the IRDR procedure
	Spearman correlation from that is sampled using the IRDR procedure
	Underlying Gaussian correlation obtained from the prescribed correlation function and equation (5)
	Nearest correlation matrix to , if is not positive semidefinite
	Pearson correlation from that are sampled using the NTS procedure
	Spearman correlation from that is sampled using the NTS procedure
