    I would prefer to remove the added method `ylogy`, which is only used in 
one place, and replace it with the following logic:
    
    ````scala
    override def deviance(y: Double, mu: Double, weight: Double): Double = {
          val clamped = y.min(1 - epsilon).max(epsilon)
          2.0 * weight * (clamped * math.log(clamped / mu) + (1 - clamped) * 
math.log((1 - clamped) / (1 - mu)))
        }
    ````
    
    I think it's better to avoid adding a static method that is only used in 
one other method, and additionally I think it's clearer what the intent is 
here. I'm open to other opinions though.
