Abstract:
Copula models have become increasingly popular for modeling multivariate survival data. In this paper we review some of the recent work that has been appeared for copula model for bivariate survival data and propose a Bayesian modeling. Our approach is very flexible with respect to the choice of marginal distributions and, depending on the copula model employed, it is possible to have a class of variation for the dependence parameter. We compare some of the copula models using a descriptive diagnostic method and three popular Bayesian model selection criteria. Our methodology is illustrated with the Diabetic Retinopathy Study (1976).

Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...
