The modes of a negative multinomial distribution

Abstract

In this paper, we show how the mode(s) of a negative multinomial distribution can be computed using some results obtained for the determination of the mode(s) of a Multinomial distribution (Le Gall, F., 2003. Determination of the modes of a Multinomial distribution. Statist. Probab. Lett. 62, 325-333).Mode Negative multinomial distribution r-variate Pascal distribution Multinomial distribution Negative binomial distribution
