Continental Congress. Franklin returned to Philadelphia in 1775. There he served as a delegate to the Continental Congress, where he was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation to form a new union.
In its simplest form (when r is an integer), the negative binomial distribution models the number of failures x before a specified number of successes is reached in a series of independent, identical trials. Its parameters are the probability of success in a single trial, p, and the number of successes, r. A special case of the negative binomial distribution, when r = 1, is the geometric distribution, which models the number of failures before the first success. More generally, r can take on non-integer values.
The binomial distribution with size = n and prob = p has density. p(x) = choose(n, x) p^x (1-p)^(n-x) for x = 0, â¦, n. Note that binomial coefficients can be computed by choose in R. If an element of x is not integer, the result of dbinom is zero, with a warning. p(x) is computed using Loader's algorithm, see the reference below.
