// The negative binomial distribution NegativeBinomialDistribution[n, p]
// is the distribution of the number (k) of failures that occur in a sequence of trials before
// r successes have occurred, where the probability of success in each trial is p.
// In a sequence of Bernoulli trials or events
// (independent, yes or no, succeed or fail) with success_fraction probability p,
// negative_binomial is the probability that k or fewer failures
// preceed the r th trial's success.
// random variable k is the number of failures (NOT the probability).
// Negative_binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution.
// But note that the negative binomial distribution
// (like others including the binomial, Poisson & Bernoulli)
// is strictly defined as a discrete function: only integral values of k are envisaged.
// However because of the method of calculation using a continuous gamma function,
// it is convenient to treat it as if a continous function,
// and permit non-integral values of k.
// However, by default the policy is to use discrete_quantile_policy.
// To enforce the strict mathematical model, users should use conversion
// on k outside this function to ensure that k is integral.
// MATHCAD cumulative negative binomial pnbinom(k, n, p)
// Implementation note: much greater speed, and perhaps greater accuracy,
// might be achieved for extreme values by using a normal approximation.
// This is NOT been tested or implemented.
