negative binomial distribution
A discrete probability distribution used in statistics, often for modeling overdispersed count data.
負の二項分布は、ポアソン分布の代わりに使われることがある。
The negative binomial distribution is sometimes used instead of the Poisson distribution.
このデータには負の二項分布を当てはめるのが適切だ。
It is appropriate to fit a negative binomial distribution to this data.
Binomial distribution; models the number of successes in a fixed number of trials, whereas the negative binomial distribution models the number of trials needed to achieve a fixed number of successes.
Poisson distribution; often used for count data, but assumes equal mean and variance, unlike the negative binomial distribution which can handle overdispersion.
Compound of 負 (negative), の (possessive particle), 二項 (binomial), and 分布 (distribution). A direct translation of the English statistical term.
