The inverse hypergeometric ‐ a useful model

In: Statistica Neerlandica, Band 29, Heft 4, S. 129-144

Abstract

SummaryThe inverse hypergeometric random variable is defined. Properties of the distribution, in particular the relationship to the hypergeometric, are discussed and a number of important applications are reviewed. Finally, an alternative definition which permits an easy extension to the multivariate case is given.
