LGTM!
In principle, do we want this for all distributions? Is that the plan? (We could do this over time). @fehiepsi ?

Following #2109, I planned to gradually improve the documentation by adding implementation details for each method. I would be delighted to see others contribute to this effort as well 😄. |

…al distributions (#2188) * doc: add math explanations for Normal, Cauchy, and Exponential distributions (#2187) Add LaTeX math explanations, parameter documentation, and method docstrings following the format established in #2185 (Beta/BetaProportion). Covers PDF, log_prob, CDF, ICDF, mean, variance, entropy, and sample for each distribution. Cauchy docstrings note the undefined mean/variance. * Address review feedback: add log_cdf equation and use \frac - Add equation for Normal.log_cdf with note about jax.scipy.stats.norm.logcdf implementation - Replace \tfrac with \frac in Cauchy.icdf equation Addresses review comments from @Qazalbash in PR #2188 * add icdf equation for Normal distribution * fix: documenting equations as per the implementation --------- Co-authored-by: Meesum Qazalbash <[email protected]>
