Trinomial

scalation.random.Trinomial
case class Trinomial(p: Double, q: Double, n: Int, stream: Int) extends Variate

This class generates Trinomial random variates. While Binomial is based on trials with two outcomes, success (1) or failure (0). Trinomial is based on trials with three outcomes, high (2), medium (1) or low (0). This discrete RV models the result of 'n' trials.

Value parameters

n

the number of independent trials

p

the probability of high (2)

q

the probability of medium (1)

stream

the random number stream
