    //  PURPOSE
    //     Compute probabilities of the binomial law B(N,p)
    //
    //  PARAMETERS
    //     p : a real in [0,1]
    //     N : an integer >= 0
    //     P : a row vector with N+1 components and :
    //
    //        P(k+1) = P(X=k) = C(k,N) (1-p)^k p^(N-k)
    //
    //  Rewritten by Bruno for a gain in speed (by using
    //  cdfbin which computes the cumulative probability)
