Abstract
A new model is proposed for the joint distribution of paired survival times generated from clinical trials and certain reliability settings. The new m odel can be considered an extension to the bivariate exponential models stu died in the literature. Here, a more flexible bivariate Weibull model will be derived, and two exact parametric tests for testing the equality of marg inal survival distributions are developed.
