@@ -165,13 +165,15 @@ MathWorld uses the word 'defined' for this range.
Non-mathematicians might say it means the 'interesting' smallest range
of random variate x that has the cdf going from zero to unity.
Outside are uninteresting zones where the pdf is zero, and the cdf zero or unity.
TODO: fix this sentence: Mathematically, the functions may make sense with an (+ or -) infinite value,
but this implementation limits random variates to finite values from the `max` to `min` for the `RealType`.
Mathematically, the functions may make sense with an (+ or -) infinite value,
but except for a few special cases (in the Normal and Cauchy distributions)
this implementation limits random variates to finite values from the `max`
to `min` for the `RealType`.
(See [link math_toolkit.backgrounders.implementation.handling_of_floating_point_infinity
Handling of Floating-Point Infinity] for rationale).
The range of random variate values that is permitted and supported can be tested by using two functions
`range` and `support`.
