Support for properties of distributions

Open haykam821 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Currently, discrete distributions support samples, where a specific value of a distribution is chosen at random. However, other stable properties of a distribution are also interesting and could be supported. For example, the mean of a d6 dice is 3.5. Other properties that could be supported include quantiles, the median, range, minimum, maximum, mode, variance, standard deviation, and skewness.

  • [x] #284
  • [ ] Quantiles
  • [ ] Median
  • [ ] Range
  • [ ] #286
  • [ ] Mode
  • [ ] Variance/standard deviation
  • [ ] Skewness

I'm starting to work on some of these distribution properties, and I've already implemented mean, though the list of properties I gave in the issue body is probably too large for me to do in a single pull request. Would it make sense to split this issue into multiple issues so that I can correlate each issue to a pull request?

Up to you I suppose! I wouldn't worry too much about how you organise the PRs :)
