Bivariate Exponential and Related Distributions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Continuous Bivariate Distributions

Abstract

The vast majority of the bivariate exponential distributions arise in the reliability context one way or another. When we talk of reliability, we have in mind the failure of an item or death of a living organism. We especially think of time elapsing between the equipment being put into service and its failure. In the bivariate or multivariate context, we are concerned with dependencies between two failure times, such as those of two components of an electrical, mechanical, or biological system.
