The negative hypergeometric distribution and estimation by moments

An exact evaluation of the joint efficiency of the method of moments is given, along with a study of properties of the moment estimation for the basic beta distribution parameters. Series are derived for the first four moments of the moment estimators; summation techniques are required for evaluatio...

Zusammenfassung:	An exact evaluation of the joint efficiency of the method of moments is given, along with a study of properties of the moment estimation for the basic beta distribution parameters. Series are derived for the first four moments of the moment estimators; summation techniques are required for evaluations, and simulation approaches are used for validation.
