All,
This is an implementation of the Pareto distribution as a Gnu extension.
Patch looks generally Ok to me. If Ulrich and the other interested
parties don't have anything to add over the next 24 hrs or so, let's
go ahead and thanks again!
At some point we should: document the extensions somewhere in the
docs; manage to actually minimally test the shape of the
distributions. As you may have noticed, as part of fixing a bug, some
time ago I did a bit of work for the discrete distributions (using
other GNU code) but for continuous distributions I did nothing: if I
remember correctly, we should first figure out / import a basic
integration routine and then build on it. By the way, if in the future
you happen to add discrete distributions please make sure to exploit
the existing infrastructure!!!
Maybe Ulrich has ideas about testing?!?
Thanks,
Paolo.
I was looking at the hypergeometric distribution - reading papers and
looking at the gsl implementation. I've got nothing yet though.
I'll take a look at the integrator that was started a while back.
I'll try to bring that distribution testing infrastructure back to life too.
