Abstract: | Summary Four bivariate generalisations (Type I–IV) of the non-central negative binomial distribution (Ong/Lee) are considered. The Type I generalisation is constructed using the latent structure model scheme (Goodman) while the Type II generalisation arises from a variation of this scheme. The Type III generalisation is formed by using the method of random elements in common (Mardia). The Type IV is an extension of the Type I generalisation. Properties of these bivariate distributions including joint central and factorial moments are discussed; several recurrence formulae of the probabilities are given. An application to the childhood accident data of Mellinger et al. is considered with the precision of the Type I maximum likelihood estimates computed. |
