BirthdayDistribution

Description

This class models the distribution of the number of distinct sample values when a sample of a specified size is chosen with replacement from a population of a specified size. The class has methods for getting and setting the parameters and for computing the probability density function. The class inherits methods from the parent Distribution class for computing the mean, variance, moments, distribution function, quantile function, generating function, and simulated value. Some of these methods are overridden to implement closed formulas or better algorithms. This object is used in the birthday experiment.
