Summary
To address this issue, either api-breaking changes or docs update may happen.
Details & Motivation
I would like to provide some feedback regarding the distributions::Standard
. I believe that the name of this feature is misleading and can be confusing for users.
I came across this feature when I use rng.gen()
, and Standard
is the default distribution. I'm not sure what it is, so I search it online...
When searching for the term "Standard Distribution" online, users are very likely to come across information about the standard normal distribution, which can lead to misunderstandings. Furthermore, this name is not commonly used in other contexts, making it difficult for users to understand what it refers to.
- What changes does this require internally?
I would like to suggest that consider changing the name of this feature or provide clear warnings to users that it should not be confused with the standard normal distribution. This would greatly improve the usability and clarity of this library.
