Constructor Detail

BinomialDistribution.PMF

public BinomialDistribution.PMF()

Default constructor.

BinomialDistribution.PMF

public BinomialDistribution.PMF(int N,
                                double p)

Creates a new instance of PMF

Parameters:

N - Total number of experiments, must be greater than zero

p - Probability of a positive outcome (Bernoulli probability), [0,1]

BinomialDistribution.PMF

public BinomialDistribution.PMF(BinomialDistribution other)

Copy constructor

Parameters:

other - BinomialDistribution to copy

Method Detail

evaluate

public Double evaluate(Number input)

Returns the binomial PMF for the parameters N, k, p, which is the probability of exactly k successes in N experiments with expected per-trial success probability (Bernoulli) p

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Evaluator<Number,Double>

Parameters:

input - Number of successes

Returns:

Probability of exactly input successes in N experiments with expected per-trial success probability (Bernoulli) p

evaluate

public static double evaluate(int N,
                              int k,
                              double p)

Returns the binomial CDF for the parameters N, k, p, which is the probability of exactly k successes in N experiments with expected per-trial success probability (Bernoulli) p

Parameters:

N - Total number of experiments

k - Total number of successes

p - Expected probability of success, Bernoulli parameter

Returns:

Probability of exactly k successes in N experiments with expected per-trial success probability (Bernoulli) p

logEvaluate

public double logEvaluate(Number input)

Description copied from interface: ProbabilityFunction

Evaluate the natural logarithm of the distribution function. This is sometimes more efficient than evaluating the distribution function itself, and when evaluating the product of many independent or exchangeable samples.

Specified by:

logEvaluate in interface ProbabilityFunction<Number>

Returns:

Natural logarithm of the distribution function.

logEvaluate

public static double logEvaluate(int N,
                                 int k,
                                 double p)

Computes the natural logarithm of the PMF.

Parameters:

N - Total number of experiments

k - Total number of successes

p - Expected probability of success, Bernoulli parameter

Returns:

Computes the natural logarithm of the PMF.

getEntropy

public double getEntropy()

Description copied from interface: ProbabilityMassFunction

Gets the entropy of the values in the histogram.

Specified by:

getEntropy in interface ProbabilityMassFunction<Number>

Returns:

The entropy of the values in the histogram.

getProbabilityFunction

public BinomialDistribution.PMF getProbabilityFunction()

Description copied from interface: ComputableDistribution

Gets the distribution function associated with this Distribution, either the PDF or PMF.

Specified by:

getProbabilityFunction in interface ComputableDistribution<Number>

Specified by:

getProbabilityFunction in interface DiscreteDistribution<Number>

Specified by:

getProbabilityFunction in interface ProbabilityMassFunction<Number>

Overrides:

getProbabilityFunction in class BinomialDistribution
