Feb 26, 2016 at 1:55 comment added dog That is exactly what I was looking for Lutz! Thank you for this hammer :-) I need a few more tools so I will read your paper carefully and see what I can get.
Feb 25, 2016 at 23:52 comment added Lutz Mattner The method of the above paper might also work for your shifted negative binomials.
Feb 25, 2016 at 23:45 comment added Lutz Mattner The stochastic ordering of two negative binomial laws, but in the version where you only count the failures and not all necessary trials, is characterized in projecteuclid.org/…, with the condition in the abstract being correct and in display (1.11) in the paper erroneous.
Feb 25, 2016 at 21:54 comment added dog Thank you for your response! I have used coupling in the past, but for a special case so I never viewed it as related. I have googled and read a little, but it seems that what I have in mind is not really fleshed out anywhere. Admittedly, it is a special case, but it seems so natural to me.

Feb 25, 2016 at 19:08 comment added Anthony Quas It sounds to me as though you want to use stochastic ordering / monotone couplings. A reference book for this is "Lectures on the Coupling Method" by T. Lindvall. Google should find lots of hits also.
