Abstract
In this paper, deceptively simple in concept though perhaps not simple in mathematical detail, Mr. Carlson has accomplished three things, one of which possibly exceeds the limits of his own original objectives. First, the paper constitutes an excellent historical summary of various approaches to the negative binomial distribution in general, including presentation of one such approach in some detail. Secondly, the use of the factorial moment generating function is demonstrated.
