Gilles commented on MATH-839:
-----------------------------
bq. we can do all the work for 3.1
No. The new method cannot be added to the {{RealDistribution}} interface as it
would break backwards compatibility.
For this reason, some unit tests also cannot be updated to not use the
deprecated method (see revision 1369420).
What can be done for 3.1, has been done:
(/) Add new method to {{AbstractRealDistribution}} and to the implementations
that override it.
(/) Redirect deprecated method to the new method.
> In "RealDistribution" implementations, rename method
> "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" to "probability(double,double)"

> Project: Commons Math

> 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).
