### 9`` Probability Distributions🔗ℹ

Neil Toronto <ntoronto@racket-lang.org>

(require math/distributions) | package: math-lib

The math/distributions module exports the following:

1. Distribution objects, which represent probability distributions

2. Functions that operate on distribution objects

3. The low-level flonum functions used to define distribution objects

Performance Warning: Using distribution objects in untyped Racket is currently 25-50 times slower than using them in Typed Racket, due to the overhead of checking higher-order contracts. We are working on it.

For now, if you need speed, either use the typed/racket language, or use just the low-level flonum functions, which are documented in Low-Level Distribution Functions.
