Summary Best [1] found the variance of the minimum variance unbiased estimator of the parameter p of the negative binomial distribution. Mikulski and Sm [2] gave an upper bound to it, easier to calculate than Best's expression and a good approximation for small values of p and large values of r (the number of successes). In this paper both lower bounds and closer upper bounds are derived. Copyright
