Three special cases of the negative binomial distribution. (a) The Poisson distribution obtained when λ→∞. (b) A spatially aggregated distribution obtained for λ=3. (c) The geometric distribution, λ=1. The positive parameter λ determines the degree of clustering among individuals, in the sense that p0 decreases with λ, so that when λ is small there will be more empty sites.
