class_docstr: Base class for elliptical copula
  
  This class requires subclassing and currently does not have generic
  methods based on an elliptical generator.
  
  Notes
  -----
  Elliptical copulas require that copula parameters are set when the
  instance is created. Those parameters currently cannot be provided in the
  call to methods. (This will most likely change in future versions.)
  If non-empty ``args`` are provided in methods, then a ValueError is raised.
  The ``args`` keyword is provided for a consistent interface across
  copulas.
code: def cdf(self, u, args=()):
      self._handle_args(args)
      ppf = self.distr_uv.ppf(u)
      return self.distr_mv.cdf(ppf)
