    Description

      Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_function
      Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

      The method currently named "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" in fact provides the probability of the variable to be within the given interval. The name "probability" would thus be more accurate (and shorter).
