discreteRV (version 1.2.2)

Create and Manipulate Discrete Random Variables

Description

Create, manipulate, transform, and simulate from discrete random variables. The syntax is modeled after that which is used in mathematical statistics and probability courses, but with powerful support for more advanced probability calculations. This includes the creation of joint random variables, and the derivation and manipulation of their conditional and marginal distributions.
