oneapi::mkl::rng::negative_binomial
Generates random numbers with negative binomial distribution.
Description
The oneapi::mkl::rng::negative_binomial class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate function to provide random numbers with negative binomial distribution and distribution parameters a and p, where p, a∈R; 0 < p < 1; a > 0.
If the first distribution parameter a∈N, this distribution is the same as Pascal distribution. If a∈N, the distribution can be interpreted as the expected time of a-th success in a sequence of Bernoulli trials, when the probability of success is p.
The probability distribution is given by:
 
   The cumulative distribution function is as follows:
