This paper studies some important properties of the generalized hypergeometric probability distribution (GHPD) of Kemp (Sankhya-Series A, 1968) by establishing the existence of all the moments of the distribution and by deriving a formula for raw moments. Here we also obtain certain recurrence relations for probabilities, raw moments and factorial moments of the GHPD.References
