| Abstract: | Summary In this paper a new bivariate exponential distribution, arising naturally in the theory of Poisson line processes, is studied.
The distribution has some interesting and useful properties which renders it suitable for use in statistical modelling work.
It is presented in the spirit of adding to the repertoire of bivariate exponential forms. It joins other models, such as those
of Downton (1970,J. R. Statist. Soc., B,32, 408–417), Marshall and Olkin (1967,J. Appl. Prob.,4, 291–302) and Nagao and Kadoya (1971,Bulletin of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute,20, 3, 183–215), which have their origins in the theory of stochastic processes. |
