A novel bivariate regression model derived from the clayton copula and the Odd Dagum-G family and its application by Julius Kwaku Adu-Ntim, Akoto Yaw Omari-Sasu, Maxwell Akwasi Boateng, Isaac Adjei Mensah

“…Many of the current bivariate regression models including those based on the bivariate normal and t-distributions assume symmetric dependencies, therefore restricting their relevance to real-world data where dependence structures are commonly asymmetric or bimodal. This limitation poses a challenge in fields like biostatistics, finance, agriculture and hydrology where complex dependencies is crucial for reliable inference.The new model adopts a more flexible framework to model the dependencies enhancing precision in multivariate analysis. …”
