/**
Probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions
and their inverses (quantiles) for various statistical distributions (continuous and discrete).
Whenever possible the conventions followed are those of the
CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics, Second Edition
(or Mathworld).
By convention the distributions are centered around 0, so for
example in the case of a Gaussian there is no parameter mu. The
user must calculate the shift himself if he wishes.
MathCore provides the majority of the probability density functions, of the
cumulative distributions and of the quantiles (inverses of the cumulatives).
Additional distributions are also provided by the
MathMore library.
