VGAM (version 1.1-6)

bifgmcop: Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern's Bivariate Distribution Family Function

Description

Estimate the association parameter of Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern's bivariate distribution by maximum likelihood estimation.

Usage

bifgmcop(lapar = "rhobitlink", iapar = NULL, imethod = 1)

Arguments

lapar, iapar, imethod

Details at CommonVGAMffArguments. See Links for more link function choices.

Value

An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class). The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm and vgam.

Details

The cumulative distribution function is $$P(Y_1 \leq y_1, Y_2 \leq y_2) = y_1 y_2 ( 1 + \alpha (1 - y_1) (1 - y_2) ) $$ for \(-1 < \alpha < 1\). The support of the function is the unit square. The marginal distributions are the standard uniform distributions. When \(\alpha = 0\) the random variables are independent.
