Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new distribution with unitary support which can be characterized as a ratio of the type W=X1/(X1+X2)W=X_1/(X_1+X_2), where (X1,X2)(X_1, X_2)^\top follows a bivariate extreme distribution with Fr\'echet margins, that is, X1X_1 and X2X_2 are two correlated Fr\'echet random variables. Some mathematical properties such as identifiability, symmetry, stochastic representation, characterization as a ratio, moments, stress-strength probability, quantiles, and the maximum likelihood method are rigorously analyzed. Two applications of the ratio distribution are discussed.
