When I try to evaluate something like Table[ PDF[BinomialDistribution[a,s i/(a+ (s-1)i)],j],{i,0,a},{j,0,a}] in Mathematica, I get errors similar to Power::indet: Indeterminate expression 0^0 encountered. I'm redefining 0^0 to 1 using In[9]:= Unprotect[Power] In[10]:= Power[0,0] := 1 In[11]:= Protect[Power] Is there a better way to get around this problem? Thanks! -Ted -- Ted Belding Ted.Belding at umich.edu University of Michigan Program for the Study of Complex Systems http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~streak/
