| It is correct, but I must point out that actual amount of underlying computations is minuscule -- we are talking about probability mass function of discrete variable in a very small range ([0, 100] tops). That distribution is defined by array of... |
| Some slightly hacky workarounds, which work since `p1` is discrete: Quantile[p1, {$MinMachineNumber, 1}] Quantile[p1, {$MachineEpsilon, 1}] Quantile[p1, {1/10^1000, 1}] One can see the problem by evaluating `InverseCDF[p1, x]`.... |
| Yes, that suggestion seems to boil down to "use different class of identifiers and this will guarantee absence of name collisions". Unfortunately it is not going to work in more generic case of formulas/functions with multiple nesting levels. |
| Michael, SetDelayed is still most often used for "function"-like definitions. The advantage of SetDelayed is that it delays evaluation of the right side until the arguments are presented (at evaluation time). This is useful in most cases because... |
