There is a feature request implicit in MATH-1185 - to add direct computation of (upper) tail probabilities, so users can avoid loss of significance errors when computing them from cumulative probabilities, which is the only thing they can do with current implementations. In some cases, we can fairly easily provide direct estimates; in others, not so easy.
What might make sense would be: * Add an upperTail(x) method to the 4.0 distributions interface (maybe with a better name) * Add default implementation to AbstractXxDistribution (3.x and 4) that returns naive results * Add - and doc - better implementations for individual distributions as and when we get them Phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
