Are there Chi-Square, Power, Normal, Binomial, Uniform, Student's-T etc distributions ?

Hi -

Is there a standard library access and make calculations from the
distributions mentioned in the subject of this email? I'm interested
in random draws from those distributions. I haven't found anything
looking in the image or on squeaksource. Thanks

Paul

OK Thanks.

I found this book:
http://books.google.com/books?id=QPX7_MP8w5UC&lpg=PP1&ots=bIsemiaRUC&dq=didier%20besset%20smalltalk&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Then from that found this code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dhbnumerics/

Then checked with the maintainers of that code and got permission to
post it up on squeaksource here:
http://www.squeaksource.com/DHBNumerical.html

It seems to work just fine for what I needed.

Thanks again

Paul
