A New Bivariate Distribution With Applications on Dependent Competing Risks Data

A new bivariate distribution is proposed in this paper using the univariate modified Weibull extension distribution. The referred to as Modified Extension (BMWE) BMWE of Marshall-Olkin type. We discuss some statistical properties BMWE  distribution.  Applications dependent competing risks data are discussed.  maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) model parameters both and discussed. These MLE's cannot be obtained closed form. Therefore, numerical optimization methods are  applied. simulation study carried out investigate performance estimation technique. Two real sets;  one set another set, analyzed for illustrative comparison purposes.
