Abstract
The description, interpretation, and curve fitting of the negative binomial distribution has become a topic of great interest to American actuaries in the last few years. What is it? Where did it come from? What does it mean? How can it be used? These and many other questions have been asked by all of us. The first thing to do, of course, is to check the textbooks and references in our personal libraries. After this has been done, some questions may still remain or some new ones brought to mind.
