You can import them all at once using importall Base, but I personally don’t like doing so since it lets you make mistakes you won’t catch for a long time.
You might find it easier to implement your distribution inside of the main distributions package code, where all of the importing has already been handled for you. Just add a file to src/univariate/HARRYDIST.jl and then include it in the main file, src/Distributions.jl. — John On Dec 30, 2013, at 11:54 AM, Harry Southworth <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks! > > import Base.rand > > worked. > > That appears to suggest that I also need to do > import Base.mean > and median, mode, and everything else.
