scipy.special.nbdtri

scipy.special.nbdtri(k, n, y) = <ufunc 'nbdtri'>

Inverse of nbdtr vs p.

Returns the inverse with respect to the parameter p of y = nbdtr(k, n, p), the negative binomial cumulative distribution function.

Parameters

karray_like

The maximum number of allowed failures (nonnegative int).

narray_like

The target number of successes (positive int).

yarray_like

The probability of k or fewer failures before n successes (float).

Returns

pndarray

Probability of success in a single event (float) such that nbdtr(k, n, p) = y.
