            # urn

A fast multivariate hypergeometric calculator with an intuitive language interface.

Find the probability of drawing a target set of objects from a collection, either with or without replacement.

Display the results as a table or a plot in your terminal.

## Using the calculator

The `urn` program can be run as a shell:
```
$ urn
urn>
```
Computations are described in the following form:
```
PROBABILITY DRAW [number of things]
FROM [collection]
WHERE [zero or more constraints on draw];
```
To see the total count of possible draws, replace `PROBABILITY` with `COUNT`.

By default, the computation assumes that draws are made without replacement. This can be changed by specifying `DRAW [number of things] WITH REPLACEMENT`.

Let's look at some examples.

Suppose we want to draw _without replacement_ from an urn containing coloured marbles. We want to see the probability that we see _at least_ 2 red and _at most_ 5 blue:
```
urn> probability draw from red = 5, blue = 7, green = 3 where red >= 2 and blue <= 5;
```
This returns the table of probabilities:
```
  draw size    probability
-----------  -------------
          2      0.0952381
          3      0.241758
          4      0.406593
          5      0.566434
          6      0.706294
          7      0.818182
          8      0.888889
          9      0.895105
         10      0.818182
         11      0.661538
         12      0.446154
         13      0.2

```
Note that the query keywords such as `FROM` and `WHERE` are not case sensitive. A semicolon `;` ends the query. Whitespace is ignored.

We didn't specify a size for our draw, so the program returned _all_ draw sizes with a non-zero probability of meeting our constraints.

By default `urn` returns float numbers for probabilities. We can make it show exact rational numbers by appending `show rational`:
```
urn> probability draw 1..5 from red=5, blue=7, green=3 where red >= 2 and blue <= 5 show rational;
  draw size  probability
-----------  -------------
          1  0
          2  2/21
          3  22/91
          4  37/91
          5  81/143
```
Here we also specified a range `1..5` for the draw size. Single draw sizes (e.g. `5`) are also permitted.

It's useful to create a plot (`show plot`) to see the optimal draw size at a glance:
```
urn> probability draw from red=5, blue=7, green=3 where red >= 2 and blue <= 5 show plot;

To see the same calculation, but in the case where we draw _with replacement_, we must specify a range and use the `WITH REPLACEMENT` modifier:

```
urn> probability draw 2..13 with replacement
...  from red=5, blue=7, green=3
...  where red >= 2 and blue <= 5 show plot;

Finally, we can use `OR` to specify any number of alternative constraints on our draw.
```
urn> probability draw 1..10 from red=5, blue=7, green=3
...  where red >= 2 and blue <= 3
...  or blue > 0 and green > 1
...  or blue = 2 red >= 2 and green <= 2
