VGAM (version 0.9-2)

fgm: 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

fgm(lapar = "rhobit", iapar = NULL, imethod = 1)

Arguments

lapar, iapar, imethod

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.
