Functions

negative_binomial

This function returns a random integer from the negative binomial distribution, the number of failures occurring before n successes in independent trials with probability p of success. The probability distribution for negative binomial variates is,

negative_binomial_P

This function computes the cumulative distribution functions P(k), Q(k) for the negative binomial distribution with parameters p and n.

negative_binomial_Q

This function computes the cumulative distribution functions P(k), Q(k) for the negative binomial distribution with parameters p and n.

negative_binomial_pdf

This function computes the probability p(k) of obtaining k from a negative binomial distribution with parameters p and n, using the formula given above.
