This PR introduces a new macro
distr_support
, which works for almost all univariate distributions that specify the support of the distribution. For example,This macro can be used for various cases, no matter whether the support is bounded or not, or whether the support can be determined at the class-level or at the instance-level.
This macro will generate the following methods:
insupport
support
, which returns aUnitRange
instance for bounded discrete distribution orRealInterval
for continuous distributionmaximum
minimum
islowerbounded
isupperbounded
isbounded
So that one need not to rewrite these boilerplates when implementing a new distribution.
This macro has been successfully applied to all univariate distributions provided in the package.
