Gilles created MATH-839:
---------------------------

             Summary: In "RealDistribution" implementations, rename method 
"cumulativeProbability(double,double)" to "probability(double,double)"
                 Key: MATH-839
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-839
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Gilles
            Assignee: Gilles
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 3.1, 4.0


Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_function
Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

The method currently named "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" in fact 
provides the _probability_ of the variable to be within the given interval. The 
name "probability" would thus be more accurate (and shorter).
