Computes the discrete probability function (PF), or the probability that the random variate X, where X describes the selected distribution type, takes on the value n. You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use.

Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png y —

    y is the number of failures before the xth success.

  • cdbl.png x —

    x is the number of successes and must be in the interval [0,inf].

  • cdbl.png p —

    p is the probability of success of each Bernoulli trial and must be in the interval [0,1].

  • idbl.png prob(y) —

    prob(y) is the probability Prob[X = y].

  • ii32.png error —

    error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster.

    • In the Bernoulli instance, X represents a Bernoulli-distributed variate with one of two possible outcomes: success (x = 1) or failure (x = 0). The Bernoulli probability parameter p is the probability of success of a single trial or experiment.
