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 ...

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.

On hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution [PDF]

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2002
It is shown that the hypergeometric generalized negative binomial distribution has moments of all positive orders, is overdispersed, skewed to the right, and leptokurtic.

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 distribution

The Statistician, 1985
This note sketches a biological context for the negative binomial distribu- tion, gives some of the many equivalent mathematical notations that have been used for the negative binomial probabilities, and discusses the use of the computer program MLP (the Maximum Likelihood Program) for fitting negative binomial distributions to data.

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.

A Characterization of the Negative Binomial Distribution [PDF]

, 2000
Only a few characterizations have been obtained in literatute for the negative binomial distribution (see Johnson et al., Chap. 5, 1992). In this article a characterization of the negative binomial distribution related to random sums is obtained which is

Determination of point estimates of negative binomial distribution parameters

Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 1999
A method for determining point estimates of c and p parameters of the negative binomial distribution has been presented in the paper. This is a method of moments because the estimation of these parameters is based on the mean value m and the standard ...

On the Conflation of Negative Binomial and Logarithmic Distributions

Axioms
In recent decades, the study of discrete distributions has received increasing attention in the field of statistics, mainly because discrete distributions can model a wide range of count data.

On Negative Binomial Approximation

Theory of Probability and Its Applications, 2013
This paper deals with negative binomial approximation to sums of independent Z(+)-valued random variables. Stein's method is employed to obtain the error bounds.
