This release primarily fixes how expectation and variance was shown in the multinomial distribution (#14). In particular, @faridcher contributed the following changes:

  • Use matrix instead of scalar form for multinomial (b0a8912)
  • Exclude *.gz files created during compilation (3b30e26)
  • Add missing d\theta in posterior mean (af30a34)
  • Add constraint on Students't expectation (7d0082e)

This release also improves the build process on Windows (#15).

This release includes the following changes:

  • Fix inconsistency between parameterization of Exponential and Gamma distribution (#13).
  • Add new special cases of the Gamma function.
  • Switch table-of-contents color from aggressive red to black.
  • Use lighter blue for link and citation colors.

Corrected Exponential and Gamma Plots

The parameters in the plots from exponential and gamma versions did not correspond to what the plots were showing. While the legend contained the scale parameter beta, the plot parameterization used the rate parameter lambda.
