In this note we tire concerned with the sums S = Y-1 + Y-2 + center dot center dot center dot + Y-n, where every constituent follows the negative binomial distribution with arbitrary parameters. We derive the exact probability mass function and the cumulative probability function of S. We also show that one can relate to the distribution of S as a mixture negative binomial distribution.
