“…have been introduced in the literature, e.g., [2], [4], [5], [3], [6], [9], [11], [14], [15], [16], [17], [20]. Lai and Xie [16] considered a representation of the FGM bivariate distribution possessing positive quadrant dependence property of the form (1.2) H(x, y) = F 1 (x)F 2 (y) + W (x, y) for all x, y, with nonnegative W (x, y) satisfying certain regularity conditions ensuring that H(x, y) is a bivariate distribution function.…”
