Negative Binomial Distribution

Negative Binomial Distribution

The Negative Binomial pdf is the probability of achieving 𝑟 failures before the 𝑥th success, with 𝑝 being the probability of a success.

Probability Density Function (PDF)

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) (x ≥ 0)

where Ix(𝑎, 𝑏) is the regularized incomplete Beta function.
