RAO ’ S DISTANCE FOR NEGATIVE MULTINOMIAL DISTRIBUTIONS

SUMMARY. Rao (1945) proposed a method, based on Fisher's information matrix, for measuring distance between distributions of a parametric family satisfying certain regularity conditions. In this paper, Rao's (1945) method is applied to obtain the distance between two negative multinomial distributions. Some other properties are discussed too.
