Conversely, the logarithmic series distribution is associated to the series found by integrating the series associated to the negative binomial distribution. The parameter of the number of failures of the negative binomial distribution is the number of derivatives needed to obtain the negative binomial series from the logarithmicseries. The reasoning in this article could be used as an alternative method to prove that the probability mass function of the negative binomial distribution sums to one. Finally, an interpretation of the logarithmic series distribution is given by using the presented reasoning. 2008 artículo científico 0120-1751 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=89912222011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=899 Revista Colombiana de Estadística application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista Colombiana de Estadística (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.31
