random.binomial(p : number) 🡒 boolean, pure function

Draw a sample from a binomial distribution with 1 trial. Return true if a success is hit. The argument p is the probability of success and must be in the interval $[0, 1]$.

table T = extend.range(5)
T.IsSuccess = random.binomial(0.5 into T)
show table "" a1c5 with T.IsSuccess

The function can be used inside an autodiff block, however no gradient flows back through the function.
