Some Considerations on Automobile Rating Systems Utilizing Individual Driving Records, [Discussion]

Abstract
Mr. Dropkin’s paper consists of two parts. The first is a discussion of the “importance of the negative binomial distribution as a valuable instrument in its own right.” Second, this tool is used to comment on the use of the number of traffic violations to “split up the total heterogeneous group into homogeneous groups.”
