Excerpt from The Nature of Residential Telephone Usage, and Reliability of ReportingDean Alvin Silk was responsible for the concept of this project. He provided not only a suggestion for the general approach, but also helpful comments and a rich source of references as the work progressed. To him I am most grateful.Jim Lattin was responsible for setting up the data base, a painful and arduous task. He spent many hours making the analysis possible and, having done so, was still prepared to spend many more discussing results and reading drafts.The two readers, Professors Tony Wong and Ernie Berndt provided useful external insights from both a statistical and an econometric perspective. I believe that the paper is the richer for this. Anant Balakrishnan wrote a program to fit the parameters of the negative binomial distribution and condensed negative binomial distribution, removing a task for which I have no fondness. It was well appreciated.Financial support from the Commonwealth Fund of New York through a Harkness Fellowship and Telecom Australia, the Australian telecommunications authority, made this paper possible and is gratefully acknowledged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
