I have created the ad hoc pdf and cdf for Erlang. The previous ones were essentially Gamma, which exceeded Erlang.

In [[probability theory]] and [[statistics]], the '''Bernoulli distribution''', named after Swiss scientist [[Jacob Bernoulli]], is a [[discrete probability distribution|discrete]] [[probability distribution]], which takes value 1 with success probability <math>p</math> and value 0 with failure probability <math>q=1-p</math>.
 
==Properties==
If <math>X</math> is a random variable with this distribution, we have:
 
:<math> \Pr(X=1) = 1 - \Pr(X=0) = 1 - q = p.\!</math>
 
A classical example of a Bernoulli experiment is a single toss of a coin. The coin might come up heads with probability <math>p</math> and tails with probability <math>1-p</math>. The experiment is called fair if <math>p=0.5</math>, indicating the origin of the terminology in betting (the bet is fair if both possible outcomes have the same probability).
 
The [[probability mass function]] <math>f</math> of this distribution is
 
: <math> f(k;p) = \begin{cases} p & \text{if }k=1, \\[6pt]
1-p & \text {if }k=0.\end{cases}</math>
 
This can also be expressed as
 
:<math>f(k;p) = p^k (1-p)^{1-k}\!\quad \text{for }k\in\{0,1\}.</math>
 
The [[expected value]] of a Bernoulli random variable <math>X</math> is <math>E\left(X\right)=p</math>, and its [[variance]] is
 
:<math>\textrm{Var}\left(X\right)=p\left(1-p\right).\,</math>
 
Bernoulli distribution is a special case of the [[Binomial distribution]] with <math>n = 1</math>.<ref name="McCullagh1989Ch422">[[#McCullagh1989|McCullagh and Nelder (1989)]], Section 4.2.2.</ref>
 
The [[kurtosis]] goes to infinity for high and low values of <math>p</math>, but for <math>p=1/2</math> the Bernoulli distribution has a lower excess kurtosis than any other probability distribution, namely −2.
 
The Bernoulli distributions for <math>0 \le p \le 1</math> form an [[exponential family]].
 
The [[maximum likelihood estimator]] of <math>p</math> based on a random sample is the [[sample mean]].
 
==Related distributions==
*If <math>X_1,\dots,X_n</math> are independent, identically distributed  ([[i.i.d.]])  random variables, all Bernoulli distributed with success probability&nbsp;''p'', then <math>Y = \sum_{k=1}^n X_k \sim \mathrm{Binomial}(n,p)</math> ([[binomial distribution]]). The Bernoulli distribution is simply <math>\mathrm{Binomial}(1,p)</math>.
*The [[categorical distribution]] is the generalization of the Bernoulli distribution for variables with any constant number of discrete values.
*The [[Beta distribution]] is the [[conjugate prior]] of the Bernoulli distribution.
*The [[geometric distribution]] models the number of independent and identical Bernoulli trials needed to get one success.
