Re: The new dice pdf is out!

I have found a way to get rid of the GF, but it introduces a nasty sum.

What is the sum?

Doesn't matter.

It's really ugly!

Hmmmm.

For one thing it is useless for computation.

Maybe it can be simplified further.

Re: The new dice pdf is out!

But that will not help as much as you think.

Hi gAr;

Sorry, did not see you up there.

I think we can't approximate it using e^(5x), since we are using coefficients beyond  the upper limit of the egf.

I agree, it did not work.

Re: The new dice pdf is out!

Hi bobbym,

No problem.
I couldn't find a continuous distribution to approximate it. It's doubtful that a simplification exists, CAS is failing to guess, what more is left?!

Yes, I too must be lucky to find a formula for this!

There still seems to be a problem with the pluses...

No, no. Technical problems. The pluses are missing!

Hold on! Let me try.

It is working for me. What expression is giving you problems and post it in the thread where he will see it.

Hi bobbym

Have you seen the 2's and 5's problem? It seems like a tough one.
