Abstract
We obtain a noninformative prior measure for the p parameter of the negative binomial distribution by use of a group theoretic method. Heretofore, group theoretic inference methods have not been applicable in the case of discrete distributions. A linear representation of a group leads to quantities whose squared moduli constitute the probability distribution. The group invariant measure yields prior measure d p / p 2 .
