#' Create a negative binomial distribution
#'
#' A generalization of the geometric distribution. It is the number
#' of failures in a sequence of i.i.d. Bernoulli trials before
#' a specified target number (\eqn{r}) of successes occurs.
#'
#'
#' @param size The target number of successes (greater than \eqn{0})
#' until the experiment is stopped. Denoted \eqn{r} below.
#' @param p The success probability for a given trial. `p` can be any
#' value in `[0, 1]`, and defaults to `0.5`.
#' @param mu Alternative parameterization via the non-negative mean
#' of the distribution (instead of the probability `p`), defaults to `size`.
#'
#' @return A `NegativeBinomial` object.

#' @details
#'
#' We recommend reading this documentation on
#' <https://alexpghayes.github.io/distributions3/>, where the math
#' will render with additional detail and much greater clarity.
#'
#' In the following, let \eqn{X} be a negative binomial random variable with
#' success probability `p` = \eqn{p}.
#'
#' **Support**: \eqn{\{0, 1, 2, 3, ...\}}
#'
#' **Mean**: \eqn{\frac{(1 - p) r}{p} = \mu}
#'
#' **Variance**: \eqn{\frac{(1 - p) r}{p^2}}
#'
#' **Probability mass function (p.m.f.)**:
#'
#' \deqn{
#' f(k) = {k + r - 1 \choose k} \cdot p^r (1-p)^k
#' }{
#' f(k) = (k+r-1)!/(k!(r-1)!) p^r (1-p)^k
#' }
#'
#' **Cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.)**:
#'
#' Omitted for now.
#'
#' **Moment generating function (m.g.f.)**:
#'
#' \deqn{
#' \left(\frac{p}{1 - (1 -p) e^t}\right)^r, t < -\log (1-p)
#' }{
#' \frac{p^r}{(1 - (1-p) e^t)^r}, t < -\log (1-p)
#' }
#'
#' **Alternative parameterization**: Sometimes, especially when used in
#' regression models, the negative binomial distribution is parameterized
#' by its mean \eqn{\mu} (as listed above) plus the size parameter \eqn{r}.
#' This implies a success probability of \eqn{p = r/(r + \mu)}. This can
#' also be seen as a generalization of the Poisson distribution where the
#' assumption of equidispersion (i.e., variance equal to mean) is relaxed.
#' The negative binomial distribution is overdispersed (i.e., variance greater than mean)
#' and its variance can also be written as \eqn{\mu + 1/r \mu^2}. The Poisson
#' distribution is then obtained as \eqn{r} goes to infinity. Note that in this
#' view it is natural to also allow for non-integer \eqn{r} parameters.
#' The factorials in the equations above are then expressed in terms of the
#' gamma function.
