In this article, a new family of bivariate discrete distributions is proposed based on the copula concept, in the so-called bivariate discrete odd generalized exponential-G family. Some distributional properties, including the joint probability mass function, joint survival function, joint failure rate function, median correlation coefficient, and conditional expectation, are derived. After proposing the general class, one special model of the new bivariate family is discussed in detail. The maximum likelihood approach is utilized to estimate the family parameters. A detailed simulation study is carried out to examine the bias and mean square error of maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, the importance of the new bivariate family is explained by means of two distinctive real data sets in various fields.
