This is wrong. All the material is about a standard hypergeometric distribution.

I agree, it's clearly just the hypergeometric. It's highly misleading. Glenbarnett (talk) 02:23, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to "Univariate Discrete Distributions", Johnson, Kotz and Kemp, the negative hypergeometric distribution is also known as the beta binomial, as indicated in Table 2.1 p. 83 "The Types of Distributions Derived by Ord (1967a)." An easy way to correct this article, which has multiple issues, would be to replace it with a redirect to beta binomial. Any thoughts? Mathstat (talk) 03:05, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
