Thanks - but I'm looking for a random generator. I don't see this in the
math_toolkit - am I missing something?
I do realize that inverse cumulative could be used, which I think
math_toolkit provides, but that's not always a good choice.
BTW, the binomial_distribution provided by boost::random is pretty crude.
