%
%% BINOMIAL_CDF evaluates the Binomial CDF.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    CDF(X)(A,B) is the probability of at most X successes in A trials,
%    given that the probability of success on a single trial is B.
%
%    A sequence of trials with fixed probability of success on
%    any trial is known as a sequence of Bernoulli trials.
