Re: [pdl-stats] PDL::Stats::Distr

[Maggie X <mag...@gm...>]

Both modules are part of the PDL::Stats package. You get them when you
install PDL::Stats. On windows the installation process often skips these
two modules because it can't find the gsl libs. You can download the
pdl-stats ppm from sysphus' repo where it's compiled against gsl so have
all the modules.

As to gaps, you can use bad value. Or if it's something like discreet vs.
continuous distribution you can also warn the user about the expected input
or value range, then bail out on it.

Best,
Maggie
