Abstract
The univariate generalized Poisson probability model has many applications in various areas such as engineering, manufacturing, survival analysis, genetic, shunting accidents, queuing, and branching processes. A correlated bivariate version of the univariate generalized Poisson distribution is defined and studied. Estimation of its parameters and some of its properties are also discussed.
