Derive mgf bivariate normal distribution

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the moment generating function (mgf) for bivariate normal distributions. Participants suggest expanding the exponential function in a power series and emphasize that it must be under the integral sign. The formula for the mgf involves integrating the joint probability density function of the bivariate normal distribution. Clarifications are made about the necessity of the joint distribution function for obtaining the correct mgf. Ultimately, the derivation hinges on the specific form of the joint distribution, confirming that if it is bivariate normal, the mgf can be successfully derived.

Does anyone know the proof of joint moment generating functions for bivariate normal distributions?
M_x,y (s,t)= E(e^(xs+yt))

Expand the exponential in a power series. E(each term) is that moment.

I'm actually suppose to do it like

great idea
it is possible to do it this way ?
its a very long step.
M(s,t)= e(xs+yt) ∫∫ fXY (x,y) dxdy
= e(xs+yt) ∫∫ (1/(2π√(1-ρ2xσy)) exp [ [-1/2(1-ρ2)] [(x-μxx)2 + (y-μyy)2 - 2ρ(x-μxx)(y-μyy)}

No. e^{(xs+yt)} must be under the integral sign.

yes I know that but will I get the solution of mgf of bivariate normal distribution ? I'm stuck current trying to derive it.

That will depend on what f_{XY}(x,y) is. If it is bivariate normal, then you will get its moment generating function.
 
I was reading a Bachelor thesis on Peano Arithmetic (PA). PA has the following axioms (not including the induction schema): $$\begin{align} & (A1) ~~~~ \forall x \neg (x + 1 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A2) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + 1 =y + 1 \to x = y) \nonumber \\ & (A3) ~~~~ \forall x (x + 0 = x) \nonumber \\ & (A4) ~~~~ \forall xy (x + (y +1) = (x + y ) + 1) \nonumber \\ & (A5) ~~~~ \forall x (x \cdot 0 = 0) \nonumber \\ & (A6) ~~~~ \forall xy (x \cdot (y + 1) = (x \cdot y) + x) \nonumber...
