Setsup a double precision reference vector for generating a vector of random variates from a binomial distribution via calls to drandgeneraldiscrete.

Parameters:
  • m[in] Number of trials, m >= 0

  • p[in] Probability of success, 0 <= p < 1

  • ref[out] Reference vector, ref(lref)

  • lref[inout] On Entry: Either -1, or Length of ref. lref >= 30+20*SQRT(m*p*(1-p)) On Exit: If lref = -1 then lref is set to a recommended value and the function returns; otherwise lref is not altered

  • info[out]

    Error code

    1 = Everything OK, but reference vector not set up due to lref being -1 on entry

    0 = Everything OK

    -1 to -4 = Error in parameter, abs(info)
