This paper proposes a model, which is an extension-of-symmetry model, for square contingency tables with the same nominal row and column classifications. The model states that the absolute values of difference between the conditional probability that an observation will fall in cell (i, j) on...

The concept of common factors has in the econometrics literature been applied to conditional means or in some cases to conditional variances. In this paper we generalize this concept to bivariate distributions. This is done using the conditional bivariate copula as the statistical tool. The...

A bivariate extreme value distribution, namely theGumbel mixed model constructed from Gumbel marginaldistributions is employed to analyze the joint distributionof correlated storm peak (maximum rainfall intensity) andamount. Based on its marginal distributions, the jointdistribution, the...
