Beskrivning

This volume, which is completely dedicated to continuous bivariate dist- butions, describes in detail their forms, properties, dependence structures, computation, and applications. It is a comprehensive and thorough revision ofanearliereditionof"ContinuousBivariateDistributions,Emphasizing- plications" by T.P. Hutchinson and C.D. Lai, published in 1990 by Rumsby Scienti?c Publishing, Adelaide, Australia. It has been nearly two decades since the publication of that book, and much has changed in this area of research during this period. Generali- tions have been considered for many known standard bivariate distributions. Skewed versions of di?erent bivariate distributions have been proposed and appliedtomodeldatawithskewnessdepartures.Byspecifyingthetwocon- tional distributions, rather than the simple speci?cation of one marginal and one conditional distribution, several general families of conditionally spe- ?ed bivariate distributions have been derived and studied at great length. Finally, bivariate distributions generated by a variety of copulas and their ?exibility (in terms of accommodating association/correlation) and str- tural properties have received considerable attention.All these developments andadvancesnecessitatedthepresentvolumeandhavethusresultedinas- stantially di?erent version than the last edition, both in terms of coverage and topics of discussion.

Recensioner i media

From the reviews of the second edition: "The authors present the forms, properties, dependence structures, computation, and applications of numerous continuous bivariate distributions. ... One of the nice features of this edition is that it presents bivariate distributions that are generated by a variety of copulas. ... The new edition is comprised of 14 chapters including references at the end of each chapter ... and subject index at the end. ... I can safely recommend this book as a handy resource manual for researchers as well as practitioners working in this area." (Technometrics, Vol. 51 (4), November, 2009) "The book begins with a survey of univariate distributions, necessary to clarify notation in subsequent chapters. ... Every time you open this volume, even at a random page, you'll likely find something of interest. ... You might well recommend it as collateral reading in a statistics class that you are teaching. As the students progress in their academic pursuits and/or in their subsequent careers, it will be a useful reference." (Barry C. Arnold, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 h)
