/*							nbdtr.c
 *
 *	Negative binomial distribution
 *
 *
 *
 * SYNOPSIS:
 *
 * int k, n;
 * double p, y, nbdtr();
 *
 * y = nbdtr( k, n, p );
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 *
 * Returns the sum of the terms 0 through k of the negative
 * binomial distribution:
 *
 *   k
 *   --  ( n+j-1 )   n      j
 *   >   (       )  p  (1-p)
 *   --  (   j   )
 *  j=0
 *
 * In a sequence of Bernoulli trials, this is the probability
 * that k or fewer failures precede the nth success.
 *
 * The terms are not computed individually; instead the incomplete
 * beta integral is employed, according to the formula
 *
 * y = nbdtr( k, n, p ) = incbet( n, k+1, p ).
 *
 * The arguments must be positive, with p ranging from 0 to 1.
 *
 * ACCURACY:
 *
 * Tested at random points (a,b,p), with p between 0 and 1.
 *
 *               a,b                     Relative error:
 * arithmetic  domain     # trials      peak         rms
 *    IEEE     0,100       100000      1.7e-13     8.8e-15
 * See also incbet.c.
