Yes. There is no state. The only parameter is the dimensionality
which is a template parameter.
We do often serialize underlying helper distributions, in your case the
normal distribution _M_n.
While the normal distribution mean and stddev are trivial for your case
(not actually needing serialization)
the normal distribution has these _M_saved, etc. shat we should store.
So I would just serialize _M_n here.
This is a great distribution.
Thanks!
Are you looking at the normal distribution equivalent of these?
