On Bivariate Generalized Exponential-Power Series Class of Distributions

الأصل · EN

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate distributions by compounding the bivariate generalized exponential and power-series distributions. This new class contains some new sub-models such as the bivariate generalized exponential distribution, the bivariate generalized exponential-poisson, -logarithmic, -binomial and -negative binomial distributions. We derive different properties of the new class of distributions. The EM algorithm is used to determine the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. We illustrate the usefulness of the new distributions by means of an application to a real data set.
