Finding marginal density from probability generating function of two random variables X and Y
$begingroup$
Given the probability generating function of two random variables $(X,Y)$ as $G_{X,Y} (u,v)$, how to find the marginal densities of X and Y?
Specifying the probability generating function:
$G_{X,Y} (u,v) = e^{-lambda_{1} -lambda_{2}-mu + lambda_{1} u + lambda_{2}v + mu uv}$
probability-theory statistics

Note that $G_{X,Y}(u,v)=E(u^Xv^Y)$ hence the identities $G_{X,Y}(u,1)=E(u^X)=G_X(u)$ and $G_{X,Y}(1,v)=E(v^Y)=G_Y(v)$ give the marginals. For example, $$G_X(u)=e^{-(lambda_1+mu)(1-u)}$$ from which you should recognize the distribution of $X$.

You are welcome. So, what is the distribution of $X$?
