Hypergeometric Distribution

Parameters

- integer sample size   ()
- integer number of tagged items   ()
- population size  (positive integer)

Domain

   (discrete)

Description

The Hypergeometric distribution models the number of tagged items in a random sample of size n taken without replacement from a population of N items, m of which are tagged.

Note that the SDK cannot estimate all three parameters of the Hypergeometric distribution since such an estimate would be unreliable. To correctly fit this distribution, you should manually specify the n parameter and one of the remaining two parameters (m or N).
