28.5.9.3.4 Class template negative_binomial_distribution [rand.dist.bern.negbin]

A negative_binomial_distribution random number distribution produces random integers i ≥ 0 distributed according to the discrete probability function

P (i | k, p) = (\frac{k + i - 1}{i}) \cdot p^{k} \cdot (1 - p)^{i} .

[Note 1:

This implies that P(i | k,p) is undefined when p == 1.
