Hi all

I'm reading the doc of the exponential random variable in scipy :

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.8, Release Date: 2012-01-20                         |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: from scipy import stats
sage: stats.expon?


Among other it contains :

expon.pdf(x) = exp(-x) for x >= 0.
     scale = 1.0 / lambda

While the *true* text is

expon.pdf(x) = lambda * exp(- lambda*x)

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.expon.html

The presence of lambda in that docstring is crucial !

Is it a bug somewhere ?

Have a nice day
Laurent
