Suppose we have an experiment that generates &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\ge 1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; possible outcomes, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_0,\cdots,X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, each occurring with probability &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{p_0,\cdots,p_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, respectively, where with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;p_i&amp;lt;1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{i=0}^m{p_i}=1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. That is, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p_0 = 1-\sum_{i=1}^m{p_i}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. If the experiment proceeds to generate independent outcomes until &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_0, X_1, \cdots, X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; occur exactly &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{k_0, k_1, \cdots, k_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; times, then the distribution of the m-tuple &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_1, \cdots, X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is Negative Multinomial with parameter vector &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(k_0,\{p_1,\cdots,p_m\})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Notice that the degree-of-freedom here is actually m, not (m+1). That is why we only have a probability parameter vector of size m, not (m+1), as all probabilities add up to 1 (so this introduces one relation).

Suppose we have an experiment that generates &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\ge 1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; possible outcomes, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_0,\cdots,X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, each occurring with probability &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{p_0,\cdots,p_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, respectively, where with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;p_i&amp;lt;1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum_{i=0}^m{p_i}=1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. That is, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;p_0 = 1-\sum_{i=1}^m{p_i}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. If the experiment proceeds to generate independent outcomes until &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_0, X_1, \cdots, X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; occur exactly &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{k_0, k_1, \cdots, k_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; times, then the distribution of the m-tuple &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\{X_1, \cdots, X_m\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is Negative Multinomial with parameter vector &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;(k_0,\{p_1,\cdots,p_m\})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Notice that the degree-of-freedom here is actually m, not (m+1). That is why we only have a probability parameter vector of size m, not (m+1), as all probabilities add up to 1 (so this introduces one relation).

Each negative binomial random variable, \(V_k \sim NB(&lt;del class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;r&lt;/del&gt;,p)\), may be expressed as a sum of '''k''' independent, identically distributed ([[AP_Statistics_Curriculum_2007_Distrib_Dists#Geometric|geometric]]) random variables \(\{X_i\}\), i.e., \( V_k = \sum_{i=1}^k{X_i}\), where [[AP_Statistics_Curriculum_2007_Distrib_Dists |\( X_i \sim Geometric(p)\)]]. In various scientific applications, given a large '''k''', the distribution of \(V_k\) is approximately normal with mean and variance given by \(\mu=k\frac{1}{p}\) and \(\sigma^2=k\frac{1-p}{p^2}\), as \(k \longrightarrow \infty\). Depending on the parameter '''p''', '''k''' may need to be rather large for the approximation to work well. Also, when using the normal approximation, we should remember to use the continuity correction, since the negative binomial and Normal distributions are discrete and continuous, respectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class='diff-marker'&gt;+&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The [[AP_Statistics_Curriculum_2007_Limits_CLT|central limit theorem]] provides the foundation for approximation of negative binomial distribution by [[AP_Statistics_Curriculum_2007_Normal_Std| Normal distribution]].
