Hi Folks, There has been past correspondence regarding Catherine Loader's Bell Labs (oops, Lucent) paper
"Fast and Accurate Computation of Binomial Probabilities" which gives the algorithm on which R's dbinom() is based. The original URL given in the R documentation "?dbinom" is: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/catherine/dbinom but this link is dead. Likewise, Marc Schwarz (in reply to Aries Arditi on Thu Dec 11 2003) gives http://kiefer.stat.cwru.edu/~catherine/pubs.html "There is a link to the paper (as a Postscript file) at the bottom of that page, however the link appears to be dead." I've just discovered that Catherine Loader seems to have cunningly encoded herself as "c at herine.net". So now we can find a URL for her dbinom: http://www.herine.net/stat/software/dbinom.html which points to a PDF of the above paper at http://www.herine.net/stat/papers/dbinom.pdf (which, today at least, works). More generally, see http://www.herine.net/stat/index.html Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 06-Apr-07 Time: 14:56:29 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
