Hypergeometric Distribution in Clarion
|
|
|
| Does anyone have some code snippets they'd be willing to share which
perform Hypergeometric Distribution calculations? Basically this is
used to determine the odds of drawing certain cards out of a certain
size deck...etc. Excel has HYPGEOMDIST function built-in, not that that
helps me with this program I'm writing, but it seems even trying to
perform a Factorial on a number larger than 20, exceeds my data type
size range.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,

I'm afraid I know nothing of Clarion but you did say any help would be
appreciated. This was my response to a similar request for Java code
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?h...ting.google.com
VBA code can be found at
http://members.aol.com/iandjmsmith/Examples.txt which may be easier to
translate to Clarion than Javascript. As the code is really a package
for a number of basic statistical distributions, it may contain lots
of functions you don't want, though it can be pruned down quite
easily.
