It’s fine to punt on things. You can either not include those methods at all or
include them as
skewness(d::HarryDist) = error(“Not yet implemented”)

Thanks for the tip.
Another question, and possibly one not best posted here:
Is there a minimum required functionality for adding a distribution to the
package? I ask because the package seems to want me to provide skewness and
kurtosis functions, but I've never wanted to know those things, don
One slight shortcut (which I'm not sure is documented) is
import Base: rand, mean, median, mode
But you still need to include all names.

That’s my workflow. But I tend to just do one load after writing all of the
basic functions in a single pass, then start testing them. Every existing
univariate distribution serves as a pretty easy-to-follow template for
implementing a simple univariate distribution.

So the workflow should be to create a new branch inside
harry/.julia/Distributions and to constantly unload and reload the package
as I add functions.
If so, I use
reload("Distributions")
to detach and reattach it.
Does that sound about right?
Thanks again. I appreciate your patience.

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 alread
Thanks!
import Base.rand
worked.
That appears to suggest that I also need to do
import Base.mean
and median, mode, and everything else. Which seems a bit clunky.
Is there a simple way of importing them all at once, or is my workflow all
wrong?
Thanks again,
Harry

Hi Harry,
Have you tried Base.rand? I think that’s sufficient and won’t raise this error.
Welcome to Julia!

Hello.
I'm a total noob to Julia, so please be gentle.
I'm attempting to add a new distribution to the Distributions package. My
intended workflow is to write the functions one by one and test them as I
go along before attempting to build the package.
When attempting to define rand for my new
