pub struct NegativeBinomial { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Implements the negative binomial distribution.

Please note carefully the meaning of the parameters. As noted in the wikipedia article, there are several different commonly used conventions for the parameters of the negative binomial distribution.

The negative binomial distribution is a discrete distribution with two parameters, r and p. When r is an integer, the negative binomial distribution can be interpreted as the distribution of the number of failures in a sequence of Bernoulli trials that continue until r successes occur. p is the probability of success in a single Bernoulli trial.

NegativeBinomial accepts non-integer values for r. This is a generalization of the more common case where r is an integer.

Examples

use statrs::distribution::{NegativeBinomial, Discrete};
use statrs::statistics::DiscreteDistribution;
use statrs::prec::almost_eq;

let r = NegativeBinomial::new(4.0, 0.5).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r.mean().unwrap(), 4.0);
assert!(almost_eq(r.pmf(0), 0.0625, 1e-8));
assert!(almost_eq(r.pmf(3), 0.15625, 1e-8));

Implementations

Constructs a new negative binomial distribution with parameters r and p. When r is an integer, the negative binomial distribution can be interpreted as the distribution of the number of failures in a sequence of Bernoulli trials that continue until r successes occur. p is the probability of success in a single Bernoulli trial.

Errors

Returns an error if p is NaN, less than 0.0, greater than 1.0, or if r is NaN or less than 0

Examples
use statrs::distribution::NegativeBinomial;

let mut result = NegativeBinomial::new(4.0, 0.5);
assert!(result.is_ok());

result = NegativeBinomial::new(-0.5, 5.0);
assert!(result.is_err());

Returns the probability of success p of a single Bernoulli trial associated with the negative binomial distribution.

Examples
use statrs::distribution::NegativeBinomial;

let r = NegativeBinomial::new(5.0, 0.5).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r.p(), 0.5);

Returns the number r of success of this negative binomial distribution.

Examples
use statrs::distribution::NegativeBinomial;

let r = NegativeBinomial::new(5.0, 0.5).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r.r(), 5.0);

Calculates the probability mass function for the negative binomial distribution at x.

Formula

When r is an integer, the formula is:

(x + r - 1 choose x) * (1 - p)^x * p^r

The general formula for real r is:

Γ(r + x)/(Γ(r) * Γ(x + 1)) * (1 - p)^x * p^r

where Γ(x) is the Gamma function.

Calculates the log probability mass function for the negative binomial distribution at x.

Formula

When r is an integer, the formula is:

ln((x + r - 1 choose x) * (1 - p)^x * p^r)

The general formula for real r is:

ln(Γ(r + x)/(Γ(r) * Γ(x + 1)) * (1 - p)^x * p^r)

where Γ(x) is the Gamma function.

Calculates the cumulative distribution function for the negative binomial distribution at x.

Formula
I_(p)(r, x+1)

where I_(x)(a, b) is the regularized incomplete beta function.

Calculates the survival function for the negative binomial distribution at x

Note that due to extending the distribution to the reals (allowing positive real values for r), while still technically a discrete distribution the CDF behaves more like that of a continuous distribution rather than a discrete distribution (i.e. a smooth graph rather than a step-ladder)

Formula
I_(1-p)(x+1, r)

where I_(x)(a, b) is the regularized incomplete beta function

Due to issues with rounding and floating-point accuracy the default implementation may be ill-behaved Specialized inverse cdfs should be used whenever possible. Read more

Formula
r * (1-p) / p

Returns the variance of the negative binomial distribution.

Formula

Returns the standard deviation, if it exists.

Returns the entropy, if it exists.
