negative_binomial

Class is used for generation of negative binomially distributed integer types random numbers.

Description

The class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate() function to provide random numbers negative binomially distributed with distribution parameters \(a\) and \(p\), where \(p, a \in R; 0 \leq p \leq 1, a > 0\).

The probability distribution is given by:

\[P(X = k) = C^k_{a + k - 1}p^a(1 - p)^{k}, k \in \{0, 1, 2, ...\}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{a, p}(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \sum^{\lfloor x \rfloor}_{k = 0} C^k_{a + k - 1}p^a(1 - p)^{k}, x \ge 0, x \in R \\ 0, x < 0 \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]
