The “rnbinom” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Generates random numbers from a negative binomial distribution.

• General Class: Random Number Generation

• Required Argument(s):

• n: The number of random values to generate.

• size: The size parameter of the negative binomial distribution (number of successful trials).

• prob: The probability of success on each trial.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None.

• Example:

• # Generate 100 random values from a negative binomial distribution
  random_values <- rnbinom(n = 100, size = 10, prob = 0.3)
  print(random_values)

• In this example, the rnbinom function generates 100 random values from a negative binomial distribution with a size parameter of 10 and a probability of success of 0.3. The generated values are then printed to the console.
