Does Mathematica have an implementation of the Poisson Binomial Distribution?

$begingroup$


I need to work out the probability of having $k$ successful trials out of a total of $n$ when success probabilities are heterogeneous. This calculation relates to the Poisson Binomial Distribution. Does Mathematica, or perhaps the Mathstatica add-on, have an implementation for that?

          Mathematica does not know about the PoissonBinomialDistribution, but you can use the formula given for the PDF on Wikipedia:



          PoissonBinomialDistribution[ plist : { __Real } ] := With[
          {
          n = Length @ plist,
          c = Exp[(2 I [Pi])/(Length@plist + 1)]
          }
          ,
          ProbabilityDistribution[
          1/(n + 1) Sum[c^(-l k) Product[1 + (c^l - 1) plist[[m]], {m, 1, n }], {l, 0, n}]
          ,
          {k, 0, n, 1}
          ]
          ]


          Now we may model a quality control where fault type 1 has a prob of 4% and fault types 2 and 3 have a prob of 7%:



          dist = PoissonBinomialDistribution[ {0.04, 0.07, 0.07} ];


          With this we find the probability for 3 faults:



          Probability[ k == 3, k [Distributed] dist ]// PercentForm
