>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>         Environment: Jdk 1.6.
>            Reporter: Gustav Ryd
>            Priority: Minor

> I get a ConvergenceException in  NormalDistributionImpl.cumulativeProbability() for very large/small parameters including Infinity, -Infinity.
> For instance in the following code:
> 	@Test
> 	public void testCumulative() {
> 		final NormalDistribution nd = new NormalDistributionImpl();
> 		for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
> 			final double val = Math.exp(i);
> 			try {
> 				System.out.println("val = " + val + " cumulative = " + nd.cumulativeProbability(val));
> 			} catch (MathException e) {
> 				e.printStackTrace();
> 				fail();
> 			}
> 		}
> 	}
> In version 2.0, I get no exception. 
> My suggestion is to change in the implementation of cumulativeProbability(double) to catch all ConvergenceException (and return for very large and very small values), not just MaxIterationsExceededException.
