bifgmcop {VGAM}

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.

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.

Value

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

Note

The response must be a two-column matrix. Currently, the fitted value is a matrix with two columns and values equal to 0.5. This is because each marginal distribution corresponds to a standard uniform distribution.
