function binomialPDF(k, n, p)

Calculates the probability mass function

of the binomial distribution with draws and a probability to draw a value of .

• integer :: k
  The point where to evaluate the probability mass function of the binomial distribution.
• integer :: n
  The number of independent draws. Note that this input parameter can not be negative.
• real*8 :: p
  The probability that a value of is drawn in each experiment. Note that this input parameter needs to be in the interval .

• real*8 :: binomialPDF
  The value of the probability mass function at k.
