On Negative Binomial Approximation

open access: yesTheory of Probability and Its Applications, 2013
This paper deals with negative binomial approximation to sums of independent ${\bf Z}_+$-valued random variables. Stein's method is employed to obtain the error bounds. Convolution of negative binomial and Poisson distribution is used as a three-parametric approximation.

A Simple Approximation to the Negative Binomial (and Regular Binomial)

Technometrics, 1972
An approximation for negative binomial sums involving a minimum of arithmetic is presented. Because of the relationship between negative binomial sums and regular binomial sums the approximation can be used for the latter also and for any distribution related to the binomial (such as the beta and F). The accuracy obtained is surprisingly good.

A Generalized Negative Binomial Distribution

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 1971
A generalized negative binomial (GNB) distribution with an additional parameter $\beta $ has been obtained by using Lagrange’s expansion. The parameter is such that both mean and variance tend to increase or decrease with an increase or decrease in its value but the variance increases or decreases faster than the mean.

THE TRUNCATED NEGATIVE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

Biometrika, 1955
(1920), Fisher (1941), Haldane (1941), Anscoinbe (1950) and Bliss & Fisher (1953), and is extensively used for the description of data too heterogeneous to be fitted by a Poisson distribution. Observed samples, however, may be truncated, in the sense that the number of individuals falling into the zero class cannot be determined.
