Hi Ralf, These are functions that generate data sets when invoked, like Numpy already does with mathematical distributions. On Sat, Jan 18, 2020, 12:32 PM Ralf Gommers wrote: > > > On Fri, Jan 17, 2020 at 3:46 AM Michael Lance > wrote: > >> TLDR; >> I think this could be a useful contributi

[Numpy-discussion] 8 Real Distributions

TLDR; I think this could be a useful contribution to NumPy, but I want to get feedback on where it should go (either in NumPy or elsewhere). I have functions using numpy.random which invoke the 8 "Real" data sets as estimated by Ted Micceri in 1989. These can be useful in Monte Carlo simulations.
