binocdf — Evaluate the binomial cumulative distribution function.
binocdf(x,n,p) returns the binomial lower-tail probability for x, number of trials n, and success probability p. binocdf(x,n,p,"upper") returns the complementary upper-tail probability.
Syntax
y = binocdf(x, n, p)
y = binocdf(x, n, p, "upper")Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
x | Any | Yes | — | Evaluation point. |
n | Any | Yes | — | Number of trials. |
prob | Any | Yes | — | Success probability parameter. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
y | NumericArray | Distribution function value. |
Errors
| Identifier | When | Message |
|---|---|---|
RunMat:binocdf:InvalidArgument | Inputs are nonnumeric, sizes are incompatible, or too many arguments are supplied. | normal distribution: invalid argument |
RunMat:binocdf:Internal | Internal tensor conversion or allocation fails. | normal distribution: internal error |
How binocdf works
x,n, andpsupport scalar expansion and matching array shapes.xis floored to the nearest integer count before evaluation.nmust be a nonnegative integer andpmust be in[0,1]; invalid parameters produceNaNoutputs.- The
"upper"form uses the complementary beta expression directly instead of subtracting from one.
Example
Binomial lower and upper tail probabilities
p = binocdf(55,100,0.5)
q = binocdf(55,100,0.5,"upper")Expected output:
p = 0.8644
q = 0.1356Using binocdf with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how binocdf changes the result.
Run a small binocdf example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
FAQ
Does binocdf accept array parameters?⌄
Yes. RunMat expands scalar inputs and otherwise requires x, n, and p to have compatible matching shapes.
