Results on the set S-d(F-1, center dot center dot center dot, F-d) of possible correlation matrices with given margins are obtained; this set is relevant for simulating dependent random variables with given marginal distributions and a given correlation matrix. When F-1 = (...) = F-d = F, we let S-d(F) denote the set of possible correlation matrices. Of interest is the set of F for which Sd(F) is the same as the set of all non-negative definite correlation matrices; using a construction with conditional distributions, we show that this property holds only if F is a (location-scale shift of a) margin of a (d-1)-dimensional spherical distribution.}, keywords = {Copula, elliptically contoured, Frechet bounds, Partial correlation, spherically symmetric}, isbn = {0-8176-4361-3}, doi = {10.1007/0-8176-4487-3_8}, author = {Joe, Harry}, editor = {Balakrishnan, N and Castillo, E and Sarabia, J.
