+/**
+ * Implementation of the Pascal distribution. The Pascal distribution is a special case of the
+ * Negative Binomial distribution where the number of successes parameter is an integer.
+ *
+ * <p>There are various ways to express the probability mass and distribution functions for the
+ * Pascal distribution. The present implementation represents the distribution of the number of
+ * failures before {@code r} successes occur. This is the convention adopted in e.g. <a
+ * href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NegativeBinomialDistribution.html">MathWorld</a>, but
+ * <em>not</em> in <a
+ * href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution">Wikipedia</a>.
+ *
+ * <p>For a random variable {@code X} whose values are distributed according to this distribution,
+ * the probability mass function is given by<br>
+ * {@code P(X = k) = C(k + r - 1, r - 1) * p^r * (1 - p)^k,}<br>
+ * where {@code r} is the number of successes, {@code p} is the probability of success, and {@code
+ * X} is the total number of failures. {@code C(n, k)} is the binomial coefficient ({@code n} choose
+ * {@code k}). The mean and variance of {@code X} are<br>
+ * {@code E(X) = (1 - p) * r / p, var(X) = (1 - p) * r / p^2.}<br>
+ * Finally, the cumulative distribution function is given by<br>
+ * {@code P(X <= k) = I(p, r, k + 1)}, where I is the regularized incomplete Beta function.
+ *
