NegativeBinomial

Base class: Distribution

Returns an integer corresponding to the number of failures before exactly k (with default value 1) successes given that the probability of success is p (with default value 0.5).

The probability mass function is given by,

$$P(x | t, p) = \binom{k + x - 1}{x} p^k (1-p)^x.$$
