Distributional properties of the negative binomial Lévy process

Kozubowski, Tomasz and Podgorski, Krzysztof LU (2009) In Probability and Mathematical Statistics 29(Fasc. 1). p.43-71
Abstract
The geometric distribution leads to a Lévy process parameterized

by the probability of success. The resulting negative binomial process

(NBP) is a purely jump and non-decreasing process with general negative

binomial marginal distributions. We review various stochastic mechanisms

leading to this process, and study its distributional structure. These

results enable us to establish strong convergence of the NBP in the supremum

norm to the gamma process, and lead to a straightforward algorithm

for simulating sample paths.We also include a brief discussion of estimation

of the NPB parameters, and present an example from hydrology illustrating

possible applications... (More)
