A note on contingency-type bivariate distributions
Sandia Corporation Albuquerque, New Mexico
Some results are proved about a family of bivariate distributions introduced by Plackett. Let X and Y be random variables with distribution functions F and G and density functions f and g. Plackett (1965) defined a class of bivariate distribution functions for (X, Y) which are indexed by a parameter
measuring the association between X and Y as that root of the equation.
