lambda2Roy: Bivariate failure rate

Description

Bivariate failure rate \(\lambda_2\)

Usage

lambda2Roy(x, y, theta1, theta2, theta3)

Arguments

x

observation from the first variable

y

observation from the second variable

theta1

paramater \(\theta_1\)

theta2

paramater \(\theta_2\)

theta3

paramater \(\theta_3\)

Value

Value of the bivariate failure rate \(\lambda_2\) for Roy's bivariate geometric model (Roy, 1993)

Details

It is defined as \(P(X\geq x,Y=y)/P(X\geq x,Y\geq y)\). For this model, \(\lambda_2(x,y)=1-\theta_2\theta_3^x\)
