In this study, we define a bivariate Generalized Quadratic Hazard Rate Distribution (BGQHRD). The joint cumulative distribution function and joint survival function are derived in compact forms. Several properties of BGQFRD have been discussed. The conditional probability density function, rth moments and joint and marginal moment generating functions are obtained. Parameters estimators using the maximum likelihood method are obtained. A numerical illustration is used to obtain maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs). Moreover, we study the behavior of the estimators numerically.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
