In this work, copula models for fitting bivariate response data with Weibull marginal distributions are studied, which are motivated by the need of model fading channels in signal applications. The analytical expressions for the joint probability density function
(p.d.f.), and joint cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) are utilized as the bivariate distribution of the fading channels data with not necessarily identical fading parameters and average powers. The performances of outage probability employing diversity receivers, called as selection combining (SC), equal-gain combining (EGC), and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) of two diversity receivers under bivariate copula models with Weibull marginal distributions are presented. They are also compared with the results in Sagias (2005) where the data assumed to follow the bivariate Weibull distribution. It will be demonstrated that the copula models can approximate the bivariate Weibull distribution used in Sagias (2005) very closely with suitable copula model, and the computations for
obtaining the performances of outage probability under SC are much simplified.
