My initial reaction too (and surely it is not a bug that functions behave inconsistently in regions where they are not documented to work at all), but on the other hand, noninteger m,n do appear to give a well-defined distribution, and perhaps there's a way of making sense of it? I wouldn't think it corresponds to noncentral hypergeometric distributions. > =09-thomas (who is suddenly coming across in quoted-unreadable?) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
