\title{Loss distribution of a portfolio}
\usage{
lossdistrib(p)
}
\arguments{
\item{p}{Numeric vector, the vector of success probabilities}
}
\value{
A vector q such that \eqn{q_k=\Pr(S=k)}
}
\description{
\code{lossdistrib} computes the probability distribution of a sum
of independent Bernouilli variables with unequal probabilities
(also called the Poisson-Binomial distribution).
}
\details{
We compute the probability distribution of \eqn{S = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i}
where \eqn{X_i} is Bernouilli(\eqn{p_i}). This uses the simple recursive
algorithm of Andersen, Sidenius and Basu
