Section: Random Number Generation
Generates random variables with a negative binomial distribution. The general syntax for its use is
y = randnbin(r,p)
where r
is a vector of integers representing the number of successes, and p
is the probability of success.
A negative binomial random variable describes the number of failures x
that occur in x+r
bernoulli trials, with a success on the x+r
trial. The pdf is given by
Here we generate some negative binomial random variables:
--> randnbin(3*ones(1,4),.01) ans = 437 215 199 187 --> randnbin(6*ones(1,4),.01) ans = 471 1233 768 338
