The Dirichlet distribution is often used as a prior distribution for the parameters of a multinomial distribution. Because this distribution has support on the simplex 0 less than or equal to x(i) less than or equal to 1, Sigmax(i) = 1, it does not serve as the prior for a correlated binomial distribution. We here present a bivariate beta distribution that has support on 0 less than or equal to x(i) less than or equal to 1, i = 1, 2. When expanded in a power series it is related to the hypergeometric function. This bivariate density is positively likelihood ratio dependent and hence is positive quadrant dependent.
