Archimedean copulas are used to construct bivariate Weibull distributions. Co-movement structures of variables are analyzed through the copulas, where the tail dependence between the variables is explored with more flexibility. Based on the distance between the copula distribution and its empirical version, a copula that may best fit data is selected. With extra computing costs, the adequacy of the copula chosen is then assessed. When multiple myeloma data are considered, it is found that relationship between survival time of a patient and the hemoglobin level is well described by the Clayton copula. The bivariate Weibull distribution constructed by the copula is used to estimate value at risk from which we investigate the anticipated longest life expectancy of a patient with the disease over the treatment period.
