For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the hypergeometric distribution with parameters m, k, and n. The size of y is the common size of x, m, k, and n. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

This is the probability of obtaining x marked items when randomly drawing a sample of size n without replacement from a population of total size m containing k marked items. The parameters m, k, and n must be positive integers with k and n not greater than m.

If the optional parameter vectorexpand is provided, x may be an array with size different from parameters m, k, and n (which must still be of a common size or scalar). Each element of x will be evaluated against each set of parameters m, k, and n in columnwise order. The output y will be an array of size r x s, where r = numel (m), and s = numel (x).
