Probability computations for an extension of the geometric distribution
Bertram P. Price, Aaron Tenenbein · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 1976
An extension of the stochastic process associated with the geometric distribution is presented. Combinatorial arguments are used to derive probabilities for various events of interest. Probabilities are approximated by evaluating truncated series. Bounds on the errors of approximation are developed. An example is presented and some additional applications are noted.
