Along with a review of general developments relating to bivariate distributions, this volume also covers copulas, a subject which has grown immensely in recent years. In addition, it examines conditionally specified distributions and skewed distributions.

<p>Random variables are rarely independent in practice and so many multivariate distributions have been proposed in the literature to give a dependence structure for two or more variables. In this book, we restrict ourselves to the bivariate distributions for two reasons: (i) correlation structure and other properties are easier to understand and the joint density plot can be displayed more easily, and (ii) a bivariate distribution can normally be extended to a multivariate one through a vector or matrix representation. This volume is a revision of Chapters 1-17 of the previous book <em>Continuous Bivariate Distributions, Emphasising Applications </em>authored by Drs. Paul Hutchinson and Chin-Diew Lai.</p><p>The book updates the subject of copulas which have grown immensely during the past two decades. Similarly, conditionally specified distributions and skewed distributions have become important topics of discussion in this area of research. This volume, which provides an up-to-date review of various developments relating to bivariate distributions in general, should be of interest to academics and graduate students, as well as applied researchers in finance, economics, science, engineering and technology.</p><p>N.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume, which is completely dedicated to continuous bivariate dist- butions, describes in detail their forms, properties, dependence structures, computation, and applications. It is a comprehensive and thorough revision ofanearliereditionof¿ContinuousBivariateDistributions,Emphasizing- plications¿ by T.P. Hutchinson and C.D. Lai, published in 1990 by Rumsby Scienti c Publishing, Adelaide, Australia. It has been nearly two decades since the publication of that book, and much has changed in this area of research during this period. Generali- tions have been considered for many known standard bivariate distributions. Skewed versions of di erent bivariate distributions have been proposed and appliedtomodeldatawithskewnessdepartures.Byspecifyingthetwocon- tional distributions, rather than the simple speci cation of one marginal and one conditional distribution, several general families of conditionally spe- ed bivariate distributions have been derived and studied at great length. Finally, bivariate distributions generated by a variety of copulas and their exibility (in terms of accommodating association/correlation) and str- tural properties have received considerable attention.
