An Improved Negative Binomial Approximation for Negative Hypergeometric Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper gives an improved negative binomial approximation for negative hypergeometric probability. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate that in most practical cases the effect of our approximation is almost uniformly better than the negative binomial approximation.
