The R package BCD provides core functions for the implementation of bivariate binomial, geometric, and Poisson distributions based on conditional specifications. The package also includes tools for data generation and goodness-of-fit testing for these three distribution families. See Ghosh et al. (2025), Ghosh et al. (2023), and Ghosh et al. (2021).
