The Bivariate Confluent Hypergeometric Series Distribution and Some of Its Properties

In this paper we develop a bivariate version of the confluent hypergeometric series distribution through its probability generating function and study some of its properties by deriving its probability mass function, factorial moments, probability generating functions of its marginal and conditional distributions and recursion formulae for probabilities, raw moments and factorial moments. Further certain mixtures and limiting cases of this distribution are also obtained.
