The Hyper‐Negative Binomial Distribution
M. A. Yousry, R. C. Srivastava · Biometrical Journal · 1987
Abstract A generalized family of the negative binomial distribution is introduced in a paper by Srivastava, Yousry and Ahmed (1986). It is a solution of the difference equation equation image and is called the hyper‐negative binomial distribution. Certain properties including the moments of the distribution are presented. Moment estimators of the parameters are obtained and goodness of fit is illustrated for chromatid aberration data.
