COMMENTS
Alternating sum of elements of n-th row = 1.
If a certain event has a probability p of occurring in any given trial, the probability of its occurring at least n times in 2n-1 trials is Sum_{k=1..n} T(n,k)*(-1)^(k-1)*p^(n+k-1). For example, the probability of its occurring at least 4 out of 7 times is 35p^4 - 84p^5 + 70p^6 - 20p^7. - Matthew Vandermast, Jun 05 2004
With the row polynomial defined as R(n,x) = Sum_{k = 1..n} T(n,k)*x^k, the row polynomial is related to the regularized incomplete Beta function I_x(a,b), through the relation R(n,x) = -(-x)^{-n+1}*I_{-x}(n,n). - Leo C. Stein, Jun 06 2019

FORMULA
From Peter Bala, Apr 10 2012: (Start)
O.g.f.: x*t*(1+2*x-sqrt(1-4*t*(x+1)))/(2*(x+t)*sqrt(1-4*t*(x+1))) = x*t + (3*x+2*x^2)*t^2 + (10*x+15*x^2+6*x^3)*t^3 + ....
Sum_{k = 1..n} (-1)^(k-1)*T(n,k)*2^(n-k) = 4^(n-1).
Row polynomial R(n+1,x) = ((2*n+1)!/n!^2)*x*Integral_{y = 0..1} (y*(1+x*y))^n dy. Row sums A178792. (End)
