Gilles commented on MATH-968:
-----------------------------

Raising the comments formatting issue, again.

We agreed that UTF-8 characters can be used. Should we go further and further 
so as to use them in formulae that "translitterates" the code implemented? 
Since the Javadoc is mainly intended for Java programmers, I think that the 
comment does not need to be excessively "beautified". An additional argument is 
that the (plain) Javadoc will never match the "correct" (LaTeX) layout, so that 
we are left with a hybrid: part Java statement syntax, part mathematical 
notation, part neither (like the caret "^" character when used to represent 
exponentiation).

IMHO, in the class Javadoc, it is enough to use links (to "reference" sites). 
If necessary, beautified formulae could be added there (and in the user guide).
In a method's Javadoc, I'd tend to stay close to the programming language 
syntax.

> Seems that org.apache.commons.math3.distribution lacks a ParetoDistribution 
> for some reason. This is a real common type of distribution, so providing it 
> would be very nice!
