conditional on the total, what is the distribution of negative binomials
If $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ are i.i.d. negative binomial, then what is the distribution of $(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ given
$x_1 + x_2 + \ldots + x_n = N\quad$?
$N$ is fixed.
If $x_1, x_2, \ldots, ...

How can conditional be substituted with a function of same variable?
I was studying on a PAMI article and I have seen an equation like this:
$$
\begin{align*}
P(B|X) &= \prod_c{P(B^c|X)} \\
&= \prod_c{P(B^c|A^c)}
\end{align*}
$$
where $A^c$ is a ...
