“…Our study is motivated by the application of the negative binomial process and the related negative binomial distribution in several fields, such as distribution theory (Anscombe (1950), Barndorff-Nielsen and Yeo (1969), Vaillant (1991), Zhou and Carin (2013)), agriculture and pest management (Mukhopadhyay (2014) and Mukhopadhyay and de Silva (2005)), cosmology (Carruthers and Minh (1983)), entomology (Nedelman (1983) and Wilson and Room (1983)), and hydrology (Kozubowski and Podgórski (2009)). Problems of sequential testing for such a process were faced in Buonaguidi and Muliere (2013a) and Buonaguidi and Muliere (2013b).…”
