Negative Binomial Distribution

Fit parameters of the negative binomial distribution to data, evaluate the distribution or its inverse, generate pseudorandom samples

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the negative binomial distribution.

Create a NegativeBinomialDistribution object and use NegativeBinomialDistribution object functions.
Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The functions can accept parameters of multiple negative binomial distributions.
Use the generic distribution functions with the specified distribution name "Negative Binomial" and corresponding parameters.

To learn about the negative binomial distribution, see Negative Binomial Distribution.

Negative Binomial Distribution
The negative binomial distribution models the number of failures before a specified number of successes is reached in a series of independent, identical trials.
