    Abstract

    This paper addresses a question concerning the generality of certain parameterisations of distributions which have a multivariate rational moment generating function. It is shown that the class of bilateral matrix-exponential distributions, as introduced in [2], is strictly larger than the bilateral multi-variate matrix-exponential distributions that arise as a generalisation of the the MPH? distributions introduced by Kulkarni [4].
