BinomialStats

A library to handle probability calculations related to the binomial
distribution.


History

Version 1.0.0, 21 August 2009: First release on Project Kenai.


Motivation

-Explore functional programming in Clojure.
-Use Clojure's transparent use of infinite precision integers to
extend the rangel of valid arguments to the functions (compared to
the Java versions.)


Requirements

-Must include the capability to calculate binomial coefficients.
-Must include the capability to calculate the cumulative
distribution function for the binomial distribution.
-Must include the ability to calculate a two-tailed sign test.
-Must provide the above functionality in a form that can be called
as static functions from Java.
-Must run on Windows, Linux, and OS X.


Dependencies

-The program has been built and tested with Java 6 (http://java.sun.com/).
-The library has been built and tested with Clojure 1.0.0 (http://clojure.org).
-The test data was created and validated in Mathematica.


Build

The contents of the source distribution include a NetBeans project to build
the program. The project also can be built from the command line using Ant.

Known Issues / Next Things to Do

-The valid function domains are not well defined.
