# Bernoulli Distribution¶

Generates Bernoulli distributed random numbers.

## Details¶

Bernoulli random number generator fills the $$n \times p$$ numeric table with Bernoulli distributed values with the $$p$$ probability of success on a single trial, where $$p \in R$$, $$0 \leq p \leq 1$$.

A variate is called Bernoulli distributed if after a trial it is equal to $$1$$ with the probability of success $$p$$ and to $$0$$ with the probability $$1 - p$$. The probability distribution is given by:

$p\{x = 1\} = p$
$p\{x = 0\} = 1 - p$

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

$\begin{split}F_p(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & x < 0 \\ 1 - p, & 0 \leq x < 1, x \in \mathbb{R} \\ 1, & x \geq 1 \end{cases}\end{split}$

## Batch Processing¶

Algorithm Parameters

Bernoulli distribution algorithm has the following parameters in addition to the common parameters specified in Distributions:
