[jira] [Created] (STATISTICS-32) Add survival probability function to discrete distributions

Benjamin W Trent created STATISTICS-32:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Add survival probability function to discrete distributions
                 Key: STATISTICS-32
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STATISTICS-32
             Project: Apache Commons Statistics
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Benjamin W Trent


Sibling issue to: STATISTICS-31

It is useful to know the [survival function|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_function]] of a number given a discrete distribution.

While this can be approximated with
{noformat}
1 - cdf(x){noformat}
, there is an opportunity for greater accuracy in certain distributions.
