The
negative
binomial distribution is a variation on the binomial
distribution. Events with probability p are being continued until the
N-th
success. The distribution
gives the probability that n experiments are needed to reach N successes.
In formula, the negative distribution is related with a factor n/N to the normal binomial distribution.
