THE inverse?
Another quick question - I'm still in partial disambiguation mode.
With the negative binomial distribution function (or are there more than one
but one is THE Standard one?), which is **THE** inverse?
the one that tells you the number of failures (MathCAD qnbinom & DCDFLIB)
or the one that tells you the success probability? (Cephes, Wikipedia &
DCDFLIB)
John's response to this question was faintly blasphemous ;-)
Same question with F and chisqr of course...
Both/all of course are potentially useful :-)
(and I feel all should be provided).
