DistributionsHEP.jl

DistributionsHEP.jl is a package extending the Distributions.jl package with HEP specific distributions. Whereas the package Distributions.jl already provides a large collection of common distributions out of the box, we use in HEP special distributions that make sense to be grouped in tis package.

Generally, you don't have to implement every API method listed in the documentation. We just need to implement a small number of internal methods that will be used by Distributions.jl to provide all the user-end API methods.

Implemented Distributions

• ChebyshevDist: Chebychev polynomial distribution
• ArgusBGDist: Distribution describing the ARGUS background

Installation

To install DistributionsHEP.jl, use Julia's built-in package manager. In the Julia REPL, type:

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add("DistributionsHEP")

Alternatively, you can enter the Pkg mode by pressing ] in the REPL, then type:

pkg> add DistributionsHEP

Usage

Once installed, you can begin using DistributionsHEP.jl by importing the package:

using DistributionsHEP
