Other Distributions Calculator (binomial/Poisson/t/chi²) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The degrees-of-freedom input ν=0 produces multiple undefined operations in the Student's t density. The calculator must reject it rather than return a numeric PDF; accepting it without validation would be a failure. The discrete CDF convention also materially changes the result unless explicitly specified.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
