We study a bivariate response regression model with arbitrary marginal distributions and joint distributions using Frank and Clayton's families of copulas. The proposed model is used for fitting dependent bivariate data with explanatory variables using the log-odd log-logistic Weibull distribution. We consider likelihood inferential procedures based on constrained parameters. For different parameter settings and sample sizes, various simulation studies are performed and compared to the performance of the bivariate odd-log-logistic-Weibull regression model. Sensitivity analysis methods (such as local and total influence) are investigated under three perturbation schemes. The methodology is illustrated in a study to assess changes on schoolchildren's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a follow-up exam after three years and to evaluate the impact of caries incidence on the OHRQoL of adolescents.

A new class of bivariate distributions is derived by specifying its conditionals as the exponential and gamma distributions. Some properties and relations with other distributions of the new class are studied. In particular, the estimation of parameters is considered by the methods of maximum likelihood and pseudolikelihood of a special case of the new class. An application using a real bivariate data is given for illustrating the flexibility of the new class in this context, and, also, for comparing the estimation results obtained by the maximum likelihood and pseudolikelihood methods.

A nonparametric Bayesian multiple comparisons problem (MCP) for dependence parameters in I bivariate exponential populations is studied here. A simple method for pairwise comparisons of these parameters is also suggested. Here we extend the methodology studied by Gopalan and Berry (1998) using Dirichlet process priors. The family of Dirichlet process priors is applied in the form of baseline prior and likelihood combination to provide the comparisons. Computation of the posterior probabilities of all possible hypotheses are carried out through Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, namely, Gibbs sampling, due to the intractability of analytic evaluation. The whole process of MCP for the dependent parameters of bivariate exponential populations is illustrated through a numerical example.

Copulas are a tool for constructing multivariate distributions and formalizing the dependence structure between random variables. From copula literature review, there are a few asymmetric copulas available so far while data collected from the real world often exhibit asymmetric nature. This necessitates developing asymmetric copulas. In this study, we discuss a method to construct a new class of bivariate asymmetric copulas based on products of symmetric (sometimes asymmetric) copulas with powered arguments in order to determine if the proposed construction can offer an added value for modeling asymmetric bivariate data. With these newly constructed copulas, we investigate dependence properties and measure of association between random variables. In addition, the test of symmetry of data and the estimation of hyper-parameters by the maximum likelihood method are discussed. With two real example such as car rental data and economic indicators data, we perform the goodness-of-fit test of our proposed asymmetric copulas. For these data, some of the proposed models turned out to be successful whereas the existing copulas were mostly unsuccessful. The method of presented here can be useful in fields such as finance, climate and social science.

It is known that the dierence in the length between two location parameters of two random variables is equivalent to the difference in the area between two cumulative distribution functions. In this paper, we suggest two applications by using the difference of distribution functions. The first is that the difference of expectations of a certain function of two continuous random variables such as the differences of two kth moments and two moment generating functions could be defined by using the difference between two univariate distribution functions. The other is that the difference in the volume between two empirical bivariate distribution functions is derived. If their covariance is estimated to be zero, the difference in the volume between two empirical bivariate distribution functions could be defined as the difference in two certain areas.

A control chart is very useful in monitoring various production process. There are many situations in which the simultaneous control of two or more related quality variables is necessary. We construct bivariate Shewhart control charts based on the trace of the product of the estimated variance-covariance matrix and the inverse of the in-control matrix and investigate the properties of bivariate Shewart control charts with VSI procedure for monitoring covariance matrix in term of ATS (Average time to signal) and ANSW (Average number of switch) and probability of switch, ASI (Average sampling interval). Numerical results show that ATS is smaller than ARL. From examining the properties of switching in changing covariances and variances in ${\Sigma}$, ANSW values show that it does not switch frequently and does not matter to use VSI procedure.

This paper considers the problem of estimating paramaters of the bivariate exponential distribution with a loaction parameter for a two-component shared parallel system using component data from system-level life test terminated at the time of the prespecified number of system failure. In the system-level life testing, there are three patterns of failure types; 1) both component failed 2) both component censored 3) one is failed and the other is censored. In the third case, we assume that the failure time might be known or unknown. The maximum likelihood estimators are obtained for the case of known/unknown failure time when the other component is censored.

In this paper, we consider the Bayesian multiple comparisons problem for K bivariate exponential populations to make inferences on the relationships among the parameters based on observations. And we suggest the Bayesian procedure based on fractional Bayes factor when noninformative priors are applied for the parameters. Also, we give a numerical examples to illustrate our procedure.

본 논문에서는, Marshall-Olkin의 이변량 지수모형을 따르는 두개의 부품으로 이루어진 시스템에서 두 부품의 수명 $(X_{1},\;X_{2}$들이 이변량 1종 중단된 자료로 관찰되는 경우, $P(X_{1}\;<\;X_{2})$에 대한 최우추정량을 구하고 근사적 정 규성을 밝힌다. 그리고 그 추정량을 기초로 $P(X_{1}\;<\;X_{2})$에 대한 근사적 검정법을 제안하고, 몬테칼로 모의실험을 통하여 여러가지 상황에서 제안된 추정량의 근사적 검정력을 계산하여 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 이변량 구간 중도 절단 자료의 연관성 검정을 연구하고자 한다. Kendall's τ 통계량은 분포의 가정을 필요로 하지 않는 비모수방법으로 연관성 검정을 위해 빈번히 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서도 이러한 τ 통계량을 이용한 검정을 하기 위해 붓스트랩 방법을 적용시킨다. 일반적인 비모수 붓스트랩 방법의 구간 중도 절단에 적용은 편의된 결과를 보여주었다. 이는 구간 중도 절단자료의 불완전성(incompleteness)과 관련된 것으로 이를 극복하기 위해 지렛대 붓스트랩 방법을 적용하였다. 추정된 분포에 근거하여 구간 중도 절단 대신 모의 완전한 표본(pseudo complete data)을 추룰하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 재표본의 크기 m을 결정하기 위해 기존 연구자의 공식을 이용하였다. 시행된 모의 실험의 결과는 바람직한 제 1종 오류값과 좋은 검정력을 보였주었으며 실제 적용 예로 AIDS 자료에서 HIV 감염시점과 바이러스 잠복 시간과의 연관성 여부를 검정해보았다.
