Definition
Let $X$ be a discrete random variable on a probability space $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$.

There are two forms of the negative binomial distribution, as follows:

Notation
It is sometimes written (in either form):
 * $X \sim \NegativeBinomial n p$

but there is no standard notation for this distribution.
