Mansuri}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper, at first we explain about negative hypergeometric distribution and its properties. Then we use the w-function and the Stein identity to give a result on the poisson approximation to the negative hypergeometric distribution in terms of the total variation distance between the negative hypergeometric and poisson distributions and its upper bound.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {6}, number = {11}, year = {2012}, pages = {1571 - 1573}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7715}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/71}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 71, 2012}, }
