Bivariate natural exponential families with quadratic diagonal of the variance function

Abstract

We characterize bivariate natural exponential families having the diagonal of the variance function of the form \[ \textrm{diag} V(m_1,m_2)=\left(Am_1^2+am_1+bm_2+e,Am_2^2+cm_1+dm_2+f\right), \] with A<0A<0 and a,,fRa,\ldots,f\in\mathbb{R}. The solution of the problem relies on finding the conditions under which a specific parametric family of functions consists of Laplace transforms of some probability measures.
