Abstract: The Pickands bivariate exponential distribution is first defined. The distribution is characterised by a function, say A(\cdot),
called the dependence function (along with the marginal means). One may specify a parametric model for A or take A itself as a parameter.
We first note some basic properties of the bivariate distribution. Then, we give estimators for the function A or the parameters in case a
parametric model has been specified. Some applications are indicated.
