Abstract
In this paper, a new bivariate absolutely continuous probability distribution is introduced. The new distribution, which is called the bivariate unit-sinh-normal (BVUSHN) distribution, arises by applying a transformation to the bivariate Birnbaum–Saunders distribution (BVBS). The main properties of the new proposal are studied in detail. In addition, from the new distribution, the BVUSHN regression model is also introduced. For both the bivariate probability distribution and the respective associated regression model, parameter estimation is conducted from a classical approach by using the maximum likelihood method together with the two-step estimation method. A small Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to evaluate the behavior of the used estimation method and the properties of the estimators. Finally, for illustrative purposes, two applications with real data are presented in which the usefulness of the proposals is evidenced.
