Does anyone know the proof of joint moment generating functions for bivariate normal distributions?
M_x,y (s,t)= E(e^(xs+yt))
M_x,y (s,t)= E(e^(xs+yt))
I'm actually suppose to do it likemathman said:Expand the exponential in a power series. E(each term) is that moment.

No. e^{(xs+yt)} must be under the integral sign.Lewis7879 said: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-ρ2)σxσy)) exp [ [-1/2(1-ρ2)] [(x-μx/σx)2 + (y-μy/σy)2 - 2ρ(x-μx/σx)(y-μy/σy)}

yes I know that but will I get the solution of mgf of bivariate normal distribution ? I'm stuck current trying to derive it.mathman said:No. e^{(xs+yt)} must be under the integral sign.
That will depend on what f_{XY}(x,y) is. If it is bivariate normal, then you will get its moment generating function.Lewis7879 said:I'm actually suppose to do it like
