Description
Before
There is no such a distribution that represents Beta Negative Binomial distribution.
The beta negative binomial is non-identifiable which can be seen easily by simply swapping
$r$ and
$\beta$ in the above density or characteristic function and noting that it is unchanged. Thus estimation demands that a constraint be placed on$r$ ,
$\beta$ or both.
After
with pm.Model() as model:
pm.BetaNegativeBinomial("bnb", alpha=alpha, beta=1, r=r)
