 * Acceptance Rejection method combined with Inversion for        *
 * generating Binomial random numbers with parameters             *
 * n (number of trials) and p (probability of success).           *
 * For  min(n*p,n*(1-p)) < 10  the Inversion method is applied:   *
 * The random numbers are generated via sequential search,        *
 * starting at the lowest index k=0. The cumulative probabilities *
 * are avoided by using the technique of chop-down.               *
 * For  min(n*p,n*(1-p)) >= 10  Acceptance Rejection is used:     *
 * The algorithm is based on a hat-function which is uniform in   *
 * the centre region and exponential in the tails.                *
 * A triangular immediate acceptance region in the centre speeds  *
 * up the generation of binomial variates.                        *
 * If candidate k is near the mode, f(k) is computed recursively  *
 * starting at the mode m.                                        *
 * The acceptance test by Stirling's formula is modified          *
 * according to W. Hoermann (1992): The generation of binomial    *
 * random variates, to appear in J. Statist. Comput. Simul.       *
 * If  p < .5  the algorithm is applied to parameters n, p.       *
 * Otherwise p is replaced by 1-p, and k is replaced by n - k.    *
 *                                                                *
