Suppose the distribution of some random variable X is modeled as Negative binomial with parameters, p and r, where p is the probability of success and r is the total number of success over the trials. Find the method of moment (MM) estimators for (p,r), in closed algebraic form expressions based on a random sample of size n, X1, X2,...,Xn.
