/**
 * Binomial Distribution
 * 

* In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of * successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each of which yields success with probability p. Such a * success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli experiment or Bernoulli trial. In fact, when n = 1, the binomial * distribution is a Bernoulli distribution. *

* The binomial distribution is the basis for the popular binomial test of statistical * significance. A binomial distribution should not be confused with a bimodal distribution. * * @see Binomial Distribution * * @author Richard Gomes * @author Dominik Holenstein */ public class BinomialDistribution implements Ops.IntToDouble { private static final String INVALID_PROBABILITY = "probability must be 0.0 <= p <= 1.0"; // // private static final methods // private static final Factorial factorial = new Factorial(); // // private final fields // private final int nExp; // // private fields // private double logP; //TODO: code review private double logOneMinusP; //TODO: code review /** * Constructor of the Binomial Distribution taking two arguments for * initialization. * * @param p * Probability of success of each trial * @param n * Sequence of independent yes/no experiments */ //TODO: code review public BinomialDistribution(final double p, final int n) { QL.require(p >= 0 && p <= 1.0 , INVALID_PROBABILITY); // QA:[RG]::verified this.nExp = n; if (p == 0.0) { this.logOneMinusP = 0.0; } else if (p == 1.0) { this.logP = 0.0; } else { this.logP = Math.log(p); this.logOneMinusP = Math.log(1.0 - p); } } // // implements UnaryFunctionInteger // /** * Computes the probability of k successful trials. * * @param k * Number of successful trials * @return Math.exp(binomialCoefficientLn(nExp, k) + k * logP + (nExp-k) * logOneMinusP); */ @Override public double op(final int k) { if (k > nExp) { return 0.0; } // p == 1.0 if (logP == 0.0) { return (k == nExp ? 1.0 : 0.0); } // p==0.0 if (logOneMinusP == 0.0) { return (k == 0 ? 1.0 : 0.0); } return Math.exp(binomialCoefficientLn(nExp, k) + k * logP + (nExp - k) * logOneMinusP); } /** * Computes the natural logarithm of the binomial coefficient. * * @param n * Number of total trials * @param k * Number of successful trials * @return Natural logarithm of the binomial coefficient */ private double binomialCoefficientLn(final int n, final int k) { QL.require(n >= 0 , "n < 0 not allowed"); // TODO: message QL.require(k >= 0 , "k < 0 not allowed"); // TODO: message QL.require(n >= k , "n < k not allowed"); // TODO: message return factorial.ln(n) - factorial.ln(k) - factorial.ln(n - k); } /** * Computes the binomial coefficient. * * @param n * Number of total trials * @param k * Number of successful trials * @return Math.floor(0.5 + Math.exp(binomialCoefficientLn(n, k))) */ //XXX private double binomialCoefficient(final int n, final int k) { return Math.floor(0.5 + Math.exp(binomialCoefficientLn(n, k))); } /** * Given an odd integer n and a real number z it returns p such that: *
