The binomial distribution Random Number Generator (RNG).
This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed binomial distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various binomial distributions.
The probability mass function of a binomial variable is defined as:
![\[
     P(k; n, p) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}, \\
         \quad k \in [0, n]
  \]](../../form_123.png)
where 



The Binomial RNG value 


![\[
   k = \sum_{i=1}^{n} I(u_i \leq p)
  \]](../../form_129.png)
where 


Here is an example of how to use this class:
If an instance of this RNG is configured to return antithetic values, the actual value returned, 
![\[
     k' = \sum_{i=1}^{n} I((1 - u_i) \leq p)
  \]](../../form_133.png)
where 


There are alternative methods for generating binomial distributions that may offer greater efficiency. However, this implementation opts for a simpler approach. Although not as efficient, this method was chosen for its simplicity and sufficiency in most applications.
