<Para ID="Par1">In this paper we studied a three-parameter absolutely continuous bivariate distribution whose marginals are generalized exponential distributions. The proposed three-parameter bivariate distribution can be used quite effectively as an alternative to the Block and Basu bivariate exponential...</para>

This paper considers two classes of bivariate distributions having proportional (reversed) hazard rates models as their marginals. Various dependence properties of the proposed models are studied through their copulas. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
