Bivariate distributions with Pareto conditionals (Q1822166): Difference between revisions

For a fixed \(\alpha >0\), the totality of bivariate densities with all conditionals being of the Pareto (\(\alpha)\) form is identified. The resulting family is of the form \[ f(x,y)\propto [1+\lambda_ 1x+\lambda_ 2y+\phi \lambda_ 1\lambda_ 2xy]^{-(\alpha +1)} \] for suitable choices of \(\lambda_ 1\), \(\lambda_ 2\) and \(\phi\).
