Thanks to Marcello for telling us all about this recently-published
algorithm, which looks very useful. A search on

findit hypergeometric

in Stata finds a single reference (to a SSC package), which was
distributed as long ago as 1999. This suggests that the new algorithm
might be a good candidate for implementation in Mata by Marcello, or by
anybody else with the time and inclination to do so.

Subject: st: Hypergeometric Distribution

Does anyone have or know of Stata code to calculate the Hypergeometric 
Distribution accurately?

See Journal of Discrete Algorithms ,  Volume 5 ,  Issue 2  (June 2007) 
Pages: 341-347 for an article by Berkopec, HyperQuick algorithm for 
discrete hypergeometric distribution 
<http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1240586&coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&CFID=
27443384&CFTOKEN=80678482>.

Thanks,
