`np.array()` has a collection of heuristics for determining what dtype to use when the objects are mixed. Typically, this just dealing with just integers mixed in with integers, upcasting integers...

So, `scipy/__config__.py` is just a copy of the `numpy/__config__.py` from the `numpy` installation that was used during the building of `scipy`, so the core error is over there. AFAICT, the...

Splines like this are frequently-used models in GAMs (as the individual nonlinear Models that are summed Additively), and techniques like CV are common to select the tradeoff parameters. The "Generalized"...

In my opinion, the multivariate distributions are all somewhat unique creatures; many of them are defined over more interesting spaces that are imbued with special structure (multivariate normal lives up...

If we're thinking of adding something equivalent on the univariate side, I'm even more in favor of a separate method rather than glomming more arguments into `cdf()`. I'd be okay...

The issue with MATLAB's cognate is that it has the `(upper) / (lower, upper)` variation in its arguments that we all dislike. R's cognate always requires both lower and upper...
