Frailty models have emerged as a pivotal tool in survival analysis, offering a robust framework to account for unobserved heterogeneity and dependence between paired failure times. In bivariate ...

Two examples illustrate the use of bivariate extremal distributions of the first type. One is the distribution of oldest ages at death for the two sexes; the other consists of the floods of the same ...

In this note it is shown that P(η - ξ > 0) can easily be calculated using tables of the bivariate normal distribution, where ξ, η are independent, ξ has a normal distribution, and η has a truncated ...
