``mx.symbol.random_negative_binomial``
============================================================================
Description
----------------------
Draw random samples from a negative binomial distribution.
Samples are distributed according to a negative binomial distribution parametrized by
*k* (limit of unsuccessful experiments) and *p* (failure probability in each experiment).
Samples will always be returned as a floating point data type.
**Example**::
negative_binomial(k=3, p=0.4, shape=(2,2)) = [[ 4., 7.],
[ 2., 5.]]
Usage
----------
.. code:: r
mx.symbol.random_negative_binomial(...)
