This paper presents a new noniterative procedure for estimating the parameters of a negative binomial distribution. The procedure uses the first moment equation and an equation based on the weighted sample mean, with weights wzotaz. The selection of a value for a is examined. A simulation study has
In many observed processes, data is fit well by a common distribution except for an excess of numbers of the zero class. This may be due to a threshold phenomenon in which no response occurs until a concomitant variable reaches a certain level, and the response is governed by the common probability
