‘Sequential estimation of the mean of a negative binomial distribution’

Abstract

I am grateful to Dr D. G. Harcourt for drawing my attention to the work of E. Kuno, who suggested nearly the same stopping boundary as mine and investigated some of its asymptotio properties, but did not obtain a probability distribution: KUNO, E. (1972). Some notes on population estimation by sequential sampling. Res. Pop. Ecol., Kyoto , 14, 58–73.
