Bernoulli distribution

Bernoulli( P )

Creates a discrete probability distribution with probability P of 1 (True) and probability (1 - P) of 0 (False). P is a probability value or array of probabilities, between 0 and 1. The result is the equivalent to:

If Uniform(0, 1) < P Then 1 Else 0

Or even just:

Uniform(0, 1) < P

If P is greater than 1, the distribution is made up of all 1’s. If P is less than 0, the distribution is made up of all 0’s.

To generate an Array of Bernoulli values that are independent over index I, use:

Bernoulli(P, Over: I)

You can extend this to an Array with multiple dimensions, as:

Bernoulli(P, Over: I, J, K)
