public abstract class DiscreteDistribution
extends AbstractDistribution

This is the base class of univariate discrete distributions. Basically, this class adds common distribution methods that accept integer argument beside float argument. A quantile function is provided based on bisection searching. Likelihood and log likelihood functions are also implemented here.
