Simulate from a Negative Binomial Distribution

Description

Functions to generate random samples from a Negative Binomial Probability Distribution

Usage

simnb(n=100, v=c(5,0.2), maxdeg=10000)

Arguments

n

number of samples to draw.

v

Negative Binomial parameters: expected count and probability of another.

maxdeg

Maximum degree to sample (using truncation of the distribution).

Value

vector of random draws or samples.

Note
