The NegBinomial distribution is discrete distribution, defined in the domain of positive integers. It is similar to the binomial distribution except that the n parameter refers to non-total and incomplete events. In other words, a random variable with NegBinomial distribution of parameters n and p represents the number of successes whose probability is p, which are achieved in a sequence of n failed trials. The parameters by means of which this distribution is defined have the same form as those that represent the Binomial distribution, although, as we said, the parameter n represents a different quality.
Input parameters:
- n. Number of failures until the trial stops, for which it is wanted to find the number of successful trials. This parameter must be an integer greater than zero, although the software will accept positive reals (those will be truncated).
- p. Probability that the trial will be successful. Take real values between 0 and 1.

Dies ist eine diskrete Verteilung, deren Domäne die Menge positiver Ganzzahlen ist, die die Anzahl der in einer Folge von n Versuchen erzielten Erfolge darstellt. Diese Tests müssen dichotom sein, dh sie bieten nur zwei Möglichkeiten (Erfolg und Misserfolg) und haben eine definierte Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit = p.
The Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution defined for the domain of integers greater than zero. It is used mostly to represent the probability that a certain number of events will occur in a period of time, a defined distance, area, volume, etc.,
This distribution is a continuous function with two parameters which must take real values greater than zero. The function is defined between 0 and 1. A particular case of the Beta distribution is when both form parameters take values = 1. In this case the function will coincide with a uniform distribution.
The exponential probability distribution is a continuous function in the domain of positive reals, which is suitable to represent the time between two events that are distributed according to the Poisson distribution. For example, the elapse until a trade receives its first customer of th day. The exponential distribution is a particular case of the Gamma distribution where shape parameter takes value 1.
