Dennis Hendriks commented on MATH-839:
--------------------------------------
This change has been discussed on the dev list, see
http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/Math-Package-quot-o-a-c-m-distribution-quot-td4637374.html#none
Steps to take are:
(x) add new method (3.1)
(/) deprecate old method (3.1) done in rev 1369381
(x) move impl to new method (3.1)
(x) redirect old method to new method (3.1)
(x) remove old method (4.0)
That is, we can do all the work for 3.1, except remove the old/deprecated
'cumulativeProbability' method.
> In "RealDistribution" implementations, rename method
> "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" to "probability(double,double)"

> Project: Commons Math

> 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).
