On a Generalization of Bivariate Cauchy Distribution

This paper addresses a generalization of the bivariate Cauchy distribution discussed by Fang et al. (1990), derived from a trivariate normal distribution with a general correlation matrix. We obtain explicit expressions for the joint distribution function and joint density function, and show that they reduce in a special case to the corresponding expressions of Fang et al. (1990). Finally, we show that this generalized distribution is useful in …
