Bernoulli( P )

Creates a discrete probability distribution with probability P of result 1 and probability (1 - P) of result 0. P is a probability value or array of probabilities, each between 0 and 1. The Bernoulli distribution is the same as:

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

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 bernoulli values that are independent over indexes In1, In2, and In3, use:

Bernoulli( P, Over:In1,In2,In3 )
