bincomp.m Graphical comparison of the binomial, Poisson, and Gaussian distributions. The procedure calls for binomial parameters , determines a reasonable range of evaluation points and plots on the same graph the binomial distribution function, thePoisson distribution function, and the gaussian distribution function with the adjustment called the “continuity correction.”

legend('Poisson','Gaussian','Adjusted Gaussian')disp('See Figure for results') If a simple random variable X is in canonical form, the distribution consists of the coefficients of the indicator funtions (the values of X ) and the probabilities of the corresponding events. If X is in a primitive form other than canonical, the csort operation is applied to the coefficients of the indicator functions and the probabilities of the corresponding events to obtainthe distribution. If and X is in a primitive form, then the value of Z on the event in the partition associated with t i is . The distribution for Z is obtained by applying csort to the and the p i . Similarly, if and the joint distribution is available, the value is associated with . The distribution for Z is obtained by applying csort to the matrix of values and the corresponding matrix of probabilities.
