Returns the probability from a negative binomial distribution
Category: Probability
See: 'CDF Function' on page 418
PROBNEGB ( p,n,m )
p
is a numeric probability of success parameter.
Range: ‰ p ‰ 1
n
is an integer number of successes parameter.
Range: n ‰ 1
m
is a positive integer random variable, the number of failures.
Range: m ‰
The PROBNEGB function returns the probability that an observation from a negative binomial distribution, with probability of success p and number of successes n , is less than or equal to m .
To compute the probability that an observation is equal to a given value m , compute the difference of two probabilities from the negative binomial distribution for m and m -1.
