Properties

	Name	Description
	CanReset	Gets a value indicating whether the random number distribution can be reset, so that it produces the same random number sequence again. (Inherited from Distribution)
	Generator	Gets or sets a Generator object that can be used as underlying random number generator. (Inherited from Distribution)
	Maximum	Gets the maximum possible value of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMaximum)
	Mean	Gets the mean value of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMean)
	Median	Gets the median of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMedian)
	Minimum	Gets the minimum possible value of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMinimum)
	Mode	Gets the mode of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionMode)
	Number	Gets the parameter 'maximum value' of this distribution.
	Probability	Gets the parameter 'probability' of this distribution.
	Variance	Gets the variance of binomial distributed random numbers. (Overrides DistributionVariance)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CDF(Double)	(Overrides DiscreteDistributionCDF(Double))
	CDF(Double, Double, Int32)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	Initialize
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
	NextDouble	(Overrides DistributionNextDouble)
	PDF(Double)	(Overrides DiscreteDistributionPDF(Double))
	PDF(Double, Double, Int32)
	Quantile	(Overrides DiscreteDistributionQuantile(Double))
	Reset	Resets the random number distribution, so that it produces the same random number sequence again. (Inherited from Distribution)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

Copy

Returns a binomial distributed deviate (integer returned in a double)
according to the distribution:

             j+eps                 / n \    j      n-j
     integral       p   (m) dm  = |     |  q  (1-q)
             j-eps   n,q           \ j /
