pbinom(any negative value, size, prob) should be zero.
But I got the following results.
I mean, if a negative value is close to zero, then pbinom() calculate
pbinom(0, size, prob). dbinom() also behaves similarly.
> pbinom( -2.220446e-22, 3,.1)
[1] 0.729
> pbinom( -2.220446e-8, 3,.1)
[1] 0.729
> pbinom( -2.220446e-7, 3,.1)
[1] 0
