> The existing PDF for Binomial distributions cannot handle n>1029. This implementation of Catherine Loader's algorithm can handle n upto and larger than 1000000. The Commons-Math wiki page has a wishlist entry asking for this, with a link to the paper describing the new algorithm:  http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/raw-attachment/ticket/620/loader2000Fast.pdf
> I've updated the probability() function in BInomialDistributionImpl.java, as well as the unit test for this method. The updated unit test has higher precision expected values, which were calculated with Mathematica 6.
