Abstract

In this paper the non-central bivariate Kummer-beta type IV distribution is introduced and derived via the Laplace transform of the non-central bivariate beta distribution by Gupta et al. (2009). We focus on and discuss the central bivariate Kummer-beta type IV distribution; this distribution is a special case of the non-central bivariate Kummer-beta type IV distribution and extends the popular Jones’ bivariate beta distribution. The probability density functions of the product and the ratio of the components of the central bivariate Kummer-beta type IV distribution are also derived and we provide tabulations of the associated lower percentage points as well as some upper percentage points that are useful in reliability.
