Bivariate Pareto Distribution

Description

Implements the EM algorithm with one-step Gradient Descent method to estimate the parameters of the Block-Basu bivariate Pareto distribution with location and scale. We also found parametric bootstrap and asymptotic confidence intervals based on the observed Fisher information scale, shape parameters, and exact confidence intervals for location parameters.
