NegativeMultinomialDistribution

As of Version 8, NegativeMultinomialDistribution is part of the built-in Wolfram Language kernel.

NegativeMultinomialDistribution[n,p]

represents a negative multinomial distribution with parameter n and failure probability vector p.

更多信息和选项

  • To use NegativeMultinomialDistribution, you first need to load the Multivariate Statistics Package using Needs["MultivariateStatistics`"].
  • The probability for a vector x of non-negative integers x1, x2, …, xLength[p] in a negative multinomial distribution is proportional to (n-1+∑xi)!∏(pixi/xi!).
  • The parameter n can be any positive real number, and p can be any vector of non-negative real numbers that sum to less than unity.
  • If n is a positive integer, NegativeMultinomialDistribution[n,p] gives the distribution of the failure counts in a sequence of trials with success probability 1-Total[p] and Length[p] types of failure before n successes occur.
  • NegativeMultinomialDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomInteger.
