On the Bivariate Skellam Distribution

On the bivariate Skellam distribution

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new distribution on Z, which can be viewed as a natural bivariate extension of the Skellam distribution. The main feature of this distribution a possible dependence of the univariate components, both following univariate Skellam distributions. We explore various properties of the distribution and investigate the estimation of the unknown parameters via the...

Asymptotic Efficiencies of the MLE Based on Bivariate Record Values from Bivariate Normal Distribution

Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation based on bivariate record data is considered as the general inference problem. Assume that the process of observing k records is repeated m times, independently. The asymptotic properties including consistency and asymptotic normality of the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimates of parameters of the underlying distribution is then established, when m is ...

On bivariate Weibull-Geometric distribution

Marshall and Olkin (1997) provided a general method to introduce a parameter into a family of distributions, and discussed in details about the exponential and Weibull families. They have also briefly introduced the bivariate extension, although not any properties or inferential issues have been explored, mainly due to analytical intractability of the general model. In this paper we consider th...

The Bivariate Marginal Distribution

The Bivariate Normal Distribution

Let U and V be two independent normal random variables, and consider two new random variables X and Y of the form X = aU + bV, Y = cU + dV, where a, b, c, d, are some scalars. Each one of the random variables X and Y is normal, since it is a linear function of independent normal random variables.† Furthermore, because X and Y are linear functions of the same two independent normal random variab...
