We apply distortion functions to bivariate survival functions for nonnegative random variables. This leads to a natural extension of univariate distortion risk measures to the multivariate setting.

In this lecture, the bivariate twin model is extended to the multivariate twin model. It is explained how the variance in four traits is decomposed into additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and ...

We study methods for computing the distribution functions of bivariate compound random variables. In particular, we consider three classes of bivariate counting distributions and the corresponding ...

Copula models have emerged as a pivotal tool in modern statistical analysis by enabling researchers to disentangle marginal behaviours from their joint dependency structures. This flexibility is ...

Cox model marginal survivor function and pairwise correlation models are specified for a multivariate failure time vector. The corresponding mean and covariance structure for the cumulative baseline ...

After publication of an earlier version of this paper, we received feedback that there were several incorrect references to related methods in the literature. These errors are corrected in the current ...
