Popis: In this paper, we discuss some important aspects of the bivariate alternative zero-inflated logarithmic series distribution (BAZILSD) of which the marginals are the alternative zero-inflated logarithmic series distributions of Kumar and Riyaz (2015. An alternative version of zero-inflated logarithmic series distribution and some of its applications. Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 85(6), 1117–1127). We study some important properties of the distribution by deriving expressions for its probability mass function, factorial moments, conditional probability generating functions, and recursion formulae for its probabilities, raw moments and factorial moments. The parameters of the BAZILSD are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and certain test procedures are also considered. Further certain real-life data applications are cited for illustrating the usefulness of the model. A simulation study is conducted for assessing the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the BAZILSD.
