N2 - Bivariate extreme value distributions arise as the limiting distributions of renormalized componentwise maxima. No natural parametric family exists for the dependence between the marginal distributions, but there are considerable restrictions on the dependence structure. We consider modelling the dependence function with parametric models, for which two new models are presented. Tests for independence, and discriminating between models, are also given. The estimation procedure, and the flexibility of the new models, are illustrated with an application to sea level data.
