The exponentiated Pareto distribution has been used quite effectively to model many lifetime data. In this paper, a new bivariate exponentiated Pareto distribution is introduced. The proposed bivariate distribution is derived from Gaussian copula with exponentiated Pareto distribution as marginals. Some properties of the bivariate exponentiated Pareto distribution can be obtained using the Gaussian copula property. Moreover, several methods of estimation are considered to estimate the unknown parameters of the proposed bivariate distribution. Numerical simulations are carried out to compare the performances of different estimators. Finally, one real data is analyzed and the results showed that the proposed bivariate distribution is useful for real life applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
