How do we calculate the probability for negative binomial distribution when the number of successes are non-integer? It's easy to calculate when the failures are non-integer by using gamma relation, but I wanted to know the method to determine the probability if both successes and failures are non-integer.
For e.g., probability that there were 2.3 successes when 5.8 failures took place with probability of success being p. Also, the probability that there were 0.3 successes when 0.8 failures took place with probability of success being p.
