// Binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of
// the number (k) of successes, in a sequence of
// n independent (yes or no, success or failure) Bernoulli trials.

// It expresses the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed time
// if these events occur with a known average rate (probability of success),
// and are independent of the time since the last event.

// The number of cars that pass through a certain point on a road during a given period of time.
// The number of spelling mistakes a secretary makes while typing a single page.
// The number of phone calls at a call center per minute.
// The number of times a web server is accessed per minute.
// The number of light bulbs that burn out in a certain amount of time.
// The number of roadkill found per unit length of road

// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/binomial_distribution

// Given a sample of N measured values k[i],
// we wish to estimate the value of the parameter x (mean)
// of the binomial population from which the sample was drawn.
// To calculate the maximum likelihood value = 1/N sum i = 1 to N of k[i]

// Also may want a function for EXACTLY k.

// And probability that there are EXACTLY k occurrences is
// exp(-x) * pow(x, k) / factorial(k)
// where x is expected occurrences (mean) during the given interval.
// For example, if events occur, on average, every 4 min,
// and we are interested in number of events occurring in 10 min,
// then x = 10/4 = 2.5

// http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda366i.htm

// The binomial distribution is used when there are
// exactly two mutually exclusive outcomes of a trial.
// These outcomes are appropriately labeled "success" and "failure".
// The binomial distribution is used to obtain
// the probability of observing x successes in N trials,
// with the probability of success on a single trial denoted by p.
// The binomial distribution assumes that p is fixed for all trials.

// P(x, p, n) = n!/(x! * (n-x)!) * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

// http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BinomialCoefficient.html

// The binomial coefficient (n; k) is the number of ways of picking
// k unordered outcomes from n possibilities,
// also known as a combination or combinatorial number.
// The symbols _nC_k and (n; k) are used to denote a binomial coefficient,
// and are sometimes read as "n choose k."
// (n; k) therefore gives the number of k-subsets  possible out of a set of n distinct items.

// For example:
//  The 2-subsets of {1,2,3,4} are the six pairs {1,2}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,3}, {2,4}, and {3,4}, so (4; 2)==6.

// http://functions.wolfram.com/GammaBetaErf/Binomial/ for evaluation.

// But note that the binomial distribution
// (like others including the poisson, negative binomial & Bernoulli)
// is strictly defined as a discrete function: only integral values of k are envisaged.
// However because of the method of calculation using a continuous gamma function,
// it is convenient to treat it as if a continuous function,
// and permit non-integral values of k.
// To enforce the strict mathematical model, users should use floor or ceil functions
// on k outside this function to ensure that k is integral.
