ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to compare a negative binomial distribution with a negative binomial—Lindley by using stochastic orders. We characterize the comparisons in usual stochastic ...

Add a description, image, and links to the binomial-random-variable topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.
