Abstract:
A new class of bivariate distributions is presented in this paper. The procedure used in this paper is based on a latent random variable with exponential distribution. The model introduced here is of Marshall-Olkin type. A mixture of the proposed bivariate distributions is also discussed. The results obtained here generalize those of the bivariate exponential distribution present in the literature.
