Comparison of generalized negative binomial models

Music City Center 

The negative binomial distribution is a well-studied distribution used to model overdispersed count data. Other distributions meanwhile provide ways for added flexibility relative to the negative binomial model. This work introduces various generalizations of the negative binomial model inspired by the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution, and compares their statistical properties and related qualities.
