Efficient algorithms for calculating the probability distribution of the sum of hypergeometric-distributed random variables

In probability theory and statistics, the probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. While convoluting random variables following a binomial, geometric or Poisson distribut...
