::: {.alert .alert-primary}
From the plots in this vignette, the bias is low and precision is high
when extracting parameters from the gamma, lognormal and Weibull distributions
from both percentiles of the distribution and from median and range of a data
set.

The asymmetry of percentiles and sample size of the data does not noticeably
influence the bias in parameter extraction.

However, this does not ensure reliable extract for all use cases of the
`extract_param()` function and we recommend checking the output for spurious
results.
