In the case of fitting the negative binomial distribution, it is shown, by means of an example, that (a) the method of Nass [1959] provides a more suitable goodness-of-fit criterion than either Pearson's X2 statistic or the log-likelihood ratio; (b) the scope and power of all three criteria are considerably enhanced by relaxing the commonly used rule that all frequency classes should have an expectation greater than 5.
