A bernoulli_­distribution random number distribution produces bool values b distributed according to the discrete probability function

$$P\left(b|p\right)=\{\begin{array}{ccc}p& \text{if}& b=\text{true}\\ 1-p& \text{if}& b=\text{false}\end{array}\text{.}$$

  using param_type  = unspecified;

  // constructors and reset functions

A binomial_­distribution random number distribution produces integer values $i\ge 0$ distributed according to the discrete probability function

$$P(i|t,p)=(\frac{t}{i})\cdot p^i\cdot (1-p{)}^{t-i}\text{.}$$

A geometric_­distribution random number distribution produces integer values $i\ge 0$ distributed according to the discrete probability function

$$P\left(i|p\right)=p\cdot (1-p{)}^i\text{.}$$

    using param_type  = unspecified;

    // constructors and reset functions

A negative_­binomial_­distribution random number distribution produces random integers $i\ge 0$ distributed according to the discrete probability function

$$P(i|k,p)=(\frac{k+i-1}{i})\cdot p^k\cdot (1-p{)}^i\text{.}$$

[ Note: This implies that $P(i|k,p)$ is undefined when p == 1.  — end note ]
