Continuous Analog of a Binomial Distribution: d/p/q/r Family of Functions

July 30, 2019

This R package provides a standard d/p/q/r suite of functions for a continuous binomial distribution as presented by: Ilienko, Andreii. 2013. Continuous counterparts of Poisson and binomial distributions and their properties. Annales Univ. Sci. Budapest, Sect. Comp. 39: 137-147. Several files are built into an R package and stored in two different formats: (1) .zip, which contains compiled binaries for installing on computers that use the Microsoft Windows operating system, and (2) .tar.gz, which includes source code for installing the package for other operating systems (or for Windows with a functioning Rtools tool chain). The package must be installed for and by the R statistical package (https://www.r-project.org/). Running the programs requires knowledge of R statistical computing software. Usage closely parallels that of the standard R functions dbinom, pbinom, qbinom, and rbinom but allows for non-integer values of 'x' and/or 'size'.
