Abstract: A copula is a useful tool for constructing bivariate and/or multivariate dis- tributions. In this article, we consider a new modified class of (Farlie-Gumbel- Morgenstern) FGM bivariate copula for constructing several different bivariate Ku- maraswamy type copulas and discuss their structural properties, including depen- dence structures. It is established that construction of bivariate distributions by this method allows for greater flexibility in the values of Spearman’s correlation coefficient, ? and Kendall’s t. For illustrative purposes, one representative data set is utilized to exhibit the applicability of these proposed bivariate copula models.
