Aleksei Dievskii updated MATH-1136:
-----------------------------------
Description:
The following calculation returns false results:
{{new BinomialDistribution(0, 0.01).logProbability(0)}}
It evaluates to Double.NaN when it should be 0 (cf., for example, "dbinom(0, 0,
0.01, log=T)" in R).
I attach a patch dealing with the problem. The patch also adds a test for this
bug.
