A continuous version of the negative binomial distribution

A continuous version of the negative binomial distribution

While discretization of continuous distributions have been attempted for many life distributions the reverse has hardly been attempted. The present endeavor is to establish a reverse relationship by offering a continuous counter part of a discrete distribution namely negative binomial distribution....
