This class models the distribution of the number of matches in a random permutation. A match occurs whenever an element is in its natural order. The class has methods for getting and setting the number of elements permuted 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 matching experiment.
