An Exponential-Negative Binomial Distribution
Revstat Statistical Journal, 2013 A new three-parameter distribution is proposed for modeling lifetime data. It is advocated as most reasonable among the many exponential mixture type distributions proposed in recent years.

Sequence count data are poorly fit by the negative binomial distribution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Sequence count data are commonly modelled using the negative binomial (NB) distribution. Several empirical studies, however, have demonstrated that methods based on the NB-assumption do not always succeed in controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) at ...

The negative binomial-weighted Lindley distribution [PDF]
Decision Science Letters, 2019 This paper proposes a new distribution named the negative binomial-weighted Lindley. The study uses the maximum likelihood estimation to estimate the parameters of the proposed distribution and compares the performance of the new method with other ...

Computation of the Distribution of the Sum of Independent Negative Binomial Random Variables
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2023 The distribution of the sum of negative binomial random variables has a special role in insurance mathematics, actuarial sciences, and ecology. Two methods to estimate this distribution have been published: a finite-sum exact expression and a series ...

Process Capability and Performance Indices for Discrete Data
Mathematics, 2023 Process capability and performance indices (PCIs and PPIs) are used in industry to provide numerical measures for the capability and performance of several processes. The majority of the literature refers to PCIs and PPIs for continuous data.

A note on negative λ-binomial distribution
Advances in Difference Equations, 2020 In this paper, we introduce one discrete random variable, namely the negative λ-binomial random variable. We deduce the expectation of the negative λ-binomial random variable.

A New Neutrosophic Negative Binomial Distribution: Properties and Applications
Journal of Mathematics, 2021 Many problems in real life exist that are full of confusion, vagueness, and ambiguity. The quantification of such issues in a scientific way is the need of time.

On the Accuracy of the Generalized Gamma Approximation to Generalized Negative Binomial Random Sums
Mathematics, 2021 We investigate the proximity in terms of zeta-structured metrics of generalized negative binomial random sums to generalized gamma distribution with the corresponding parameters, extending thus the zeta-structured estimates of the rate of convergence in ...

Comparisons of statistical distributions for cluster sizes in a developing pandemic
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022 Background We consider cluster size data of SARS-CoV-2 transmissions for a number of different settings from recently published data. The statistical characteristics of superspreading events are commonly described by fitting a negative binomial ...
