For independent rate- exponential distribution claims and a zero-based negative binomial distribution count of shape and parameter , the random-sum transform identity gives . This equals the transform of a compound binomial distribution with count and rate- claim sizes. Conditional on its positive count , the total has Erlang distribution, whose survival function is the inner exponential-polynomial sum. Conditioning yields the displayed finite mixture distribution formula for . It replaces an infinite mixture and includes the zero-total atom through the omitted term.
