AN APPROXIMATION TO A TWO-DIMENSIONAL BINARY PROCESS

We further consider a two-dimensional stochastic process of binary variables previously discussed by Galbraith and Walley (1976). A method of estimating properties of the equilibrium distribution is described which considerably extends the region of probability space that can satisfactorily be explored.
