Constructions of Discrete Bivariate Distributions

  • Chapter
Advances in Distribution Theory, Order Statistics, and Inference

Part of the book series: Statistics for Industry and Technology ((SIT))

Abstract

Various techniques for constructing discrete bivariate distributions are scattered in the literature. We review these methods of construction and group them into some loosely defined clusters.
