[jira] [Commented] (MATH-1034) Add binomial test

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1034?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13765423#comment-13765423 ] 

Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1034:
-----------------------------------

Thanks for raising this and thanks in advance for the patch :)  There is no problem using an enumeration to represent the type of test.  This will be a new class, so there are no backward compatibility issues to worry about.  Current supported JDK level is 1.5.  Just make sure the javadoc makes it clear what is going on.

> A binomial test would be a nice addition to commons-math. I might supply a patch in the near future. I guess the interface should be similar to the other tests, i.e., a method to get the p-value and a method returning a boolean indicating reject/non-reject.
> Is there a policy about using Enumerations in commons-math? For instance, in R you can test two-sided, less or greater. This could be done using an enumeration in Java, but I'm not sure if this is discouraged for backward compatibility reasons...
