A hypergeometric random variable X is the number * of elements of type 1 in a sample of size t, drawn from a population * of size n1 + n2, in which n1 are of type 1 and n2 are of type 2. * * This algorithm computes Pr( X <= k ) by summing the terms from * the mass function, Pr( X = k ). * * References: * * T. Wu. An accurate computation of the hypergeometric distribution * function. ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software. Volume 19, number 1, * March 1993. * This algorithm is not used, since it requires factoring the * numerator and denominator, then cancelling. It is more accurate * than the algorithm used here, but the cancellation requires more * time than the algorithm used here. * * W. Feller.
