Construction of Bivariate Distributions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Continuous Bivariate Distributions

Abstract

In this chapter, we review methods of constructing bivariate distributions. There is no satisfactory mathematical scheme for classifying the methods. Instead, we offer a classification that is based on loosely connected common structures, with the hope that a new bivariate distribution can be fitted into one of these schemes. We focus especially on application-oriented methods as well as those with mathematical nicety.
