Modelling multivariate count data

Multivariate count data occur in several different disciplines. Models for such data are few mainly because of the computational complexity for their application. We propose models based on the currently fashionable idea of copulas. We propose copulas appropriate for this case taking into account computational limitations. A real data application is provided.
