In [[probability theory]], a '''beta negative binomial distribution''' is the [[probability distribution]] of a [[discrete probability distribution|discrete]] [[random variable]]&nbsp;''X'' equal to the number of failures needed to get ''n'' successes in a sequence of [[independence (probability theory)|independent]] [[Bernoulli trial]]s where the probability ''p'' of success on each trial is constant within any given experiment but is itself a random variable following a [[beta distribution]], varying between different experiments. Thus the distribution is a [[compound probability distribution]].
 
This distribution has also been called both the '''inverse Markov-Pólya distribution''' and the '''generalized Waring distribution'''.<ref name=Johnson>Johnson et al. (1993)</ref> A shifted form of the distribution has been called the '''beta-Pascal distribution'''.<ref name=Johnson/>
 
If parameters of the beta distribution are ''&alpha;'' and ''&beta;'' , and if
:<math>
X \mid p \sim \mathrm{NB}(n,p),
</math>
where
:<math>
p \sim \textrm{B}(\alpha,\beta),
</math>
then the marginal distribution of ''X'' is a beta negative binomial distribution:
:<math>
X \sim \mathrm{BNB}(n,\alpha,\beta).
</math>
 
In the above, NB(''n'',&nbsp;''p'') is the [[negative binomial distribution]] and B(''&alpha;'',&nbsp;''&beta;'') is the [[beta distribution]].
 
==PMF expressed with Gamma==
Since the rising Pochhammer symbol can be expressed in terms of the [[Gamma function]], the numerator of the PMF as given can be expressed as:
:<math>\frac{\Gamma(n+k)\Gamma(\alpha+n)\Gamma(\beta+k)}{\Gamma(n)\Gamma(\alpha)\Gamma(\beta)}</math>.
Likewise, the denominator can be rewritten as:
:<math>\frac{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta)\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n)}{k!\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n)\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n+k)}</math>,
and the two <math>{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n)}</math> terms cancel out, leaving:
:<math>\frac{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta)}{k!\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n+k)}</math>.
As <math>\frac{\Gamma(n+k)}{k!\Gamma(n)} = \binom{n+k-1}k</math>, the PMF can be rewritten as:
:<math>\binom{n+k-1}k\frac{\Gamma(\alpha+n)\Gamma(\beta+k)\Gamma(\alpha+\beta)}{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+n+k)\Gamma(\alpha)\Gamma(\beta)}</math>.
===PMF expressed with Beta===
Using the [[beta function]], the PMF is:
:<math>\binom{n+k-1}k\frac{\Beta(\alpha+n,\beta+k)}{\Beta(\alpha,\beta)}</math>.
Replacing the [[binomial coefficient]] by a beta function, the PMF can also be written:
:<math>\frac{\Beta(\alpha+n,\beta+k)}{k\Beta(\alpha,\beta)\Beta(n,k)}</math>.
