That is a very good question. I would say this is a bug report or a feature enhancement request. It must have just slipped the mind of the people who put this in originally. Unless the Gaussian distribution is only the one centered at zero and the normal is able to be centered anywhere? But I've never heard of that as a distinction... For sure we want to start unifying this behavior. Scipy is good to have as an option, of course, but we want more Sage-"native" wrapping of things like GSL (which I think #11572 is going for?). Thanks for catching this and working on that ticket; kamhamea/Mato did a lot of good work on that ticket, and it would be a real shame to have it bitrot further. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
