        distribution that takes two integers as the two shape arguments for all
        its methods.
    extradoc :  str, optional, deprecated
        This string is used as the last part of the docstring returned when a
        subclass has no docstring of its own. Note: `extradoc` exists for

    **Parameters for Methods**

    x : array_like
        quantiles
    q : array_like
        lower or upper tail probability
    <shape(s)> : array_like
        shape parameters

    moments : string, optional

        'm' = mean, 'v' = variance, 's' = (Fisher's) skew and
        'k' = (Fisher's) kurtosis. (default='mv')
    n : int
        order of moment to calculate in method moments

    Notes
    -----

    **Methods that can be overwritten by subclasses**
    ::

      _rvs
      _pdf
      _cdf
      _sf
      _ppf
      _isf
      _stats
      _munp
      _entropy
      _argcheck

    There are additional (internal and private) generic methods that can
    be useful for cross-checking and for debugging, but might work in all
    cases when directly called.

    **Frozen Distribution**

    Alternatively, the object may be called (as a function) to fix the shape,
    location, and scale parameters returning a "frozen" continuous RV object:

    rv = generic(<shape(s)>, loc=0, scale=1)
        frozen RV object with the same methods but holding the given shape,
        location, and scale fixed

    **Subclassing**

    New random variables can be defined by subclassing rv_continuous class
    and re-defining at least the ``_pdf`` or the ``_cdf`` method (normalized
    to location 0 and scale 1) which will be given clean arguments (in between
    a and b) and passing the argument check method.

    If positive argument checking is not correct for your RV
    then you will also need to re-define the ``_argcheck`` method.

    Correct, but potentially slow defaults exist for the remaining
    methods but for speed and/or accuracy you can over-ride::

      _logpdf, _cdf, _logcdf, _ppf, _rvs, _isf, _sf, _logsf

    Rarely would you override ``_isf``, ``_sf`` or ``_logsf``, but you could.

    Statistics are computed using numerical integration by default.
    For speed you can redefine this using ``_stats``:

     - take shape parameters and return mu, mu2, g1, g2
     - If you can't compute one of these, return it as None
     - Can also be defined with a keyword argument ``moments=<str>``,
       where <str> is a string composed of 'm', 'v', 's',
       and/or 'k'.  Only the components appearing in string
       should be computed and returned in the order 'm', 'v',
       's', or 'k'  with missing values returned as None.

    Alternatively, you can override ``_munp``, which takes n and shape
    parameters and returns the nth non-central moment of the distribution.

    Examples
    --------
    To create a new Gaussian distribution, we would do the following::

        class gaussian_gen(rv_continuous):
            "Gaussian distribution"
            def _pdf:
                ...

        the fit are given by input arguments; for any arguments not provided
        with starting estimates, ``self._fitstart(data)`` is called to generate
        such.

        keyword arguments ``f0``, ``f1``, ..., ``fn`` (for shape parameters)
        and ``floc`` and ``fscale`` (for location and scale parameters,

        kwds : floats, optional
            Starting values for the location and scale parameters; no default.
            Special keyword arguments are recognized as holding certain
            parameters fixed:

            f0...fn : hold respective shape parameters fixed.

            floc : hold location parameter fixed to specified value.

            fscale : hold scale parameter fixed to specified value.

            optimizer : The optimizer to use.  The optimizer must take func,

                        plus args (for extra arguments to pass to the

    The probability density function for `gamma` is::

        gamma.pdf(x, a) = lambda**a * x**(a-1) * exp(-lambda*x) / gamma(a)

    for ``x >= 0``, ``a > 0``. Here ``gamma(a)`` refers to the gamma function.

    The scale parameter is equal to ``scale = 1.0 / lambda``.

    `gamma` has a shape parameter `a` which needs to be set explicitly. For instance:

        >>> from scipy.stats import gamma
        >>> rv = gamma(3., loc = 0., scale = 2.)

    produces a frozen form of `gamma` with shape ``a = 3.``, ``loc =
    0.`` and ``lambda = 1./scale = 1./2.``.

    When ``a`` is an integer, `gamma` reduces to the Erlang
    distribution, and when ``a=1`` to the exponential distribution.

class rv_discrete(rv_generic):
    """
    A generic discrete random variable class meant for subclassing.

    `rv_discrete` is a base class to construct specific distribution classes
    and instances from for discrete random variables. rv_discrete can be used
    to construct an arbitrary distribution with defined by a list of support
    points and the corresponding probabilities.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : float, optional
        Lower bound of the support of the distribution, default: 0
    b : float, optional
        Upper bound of the support of the distribution, default: plus infinity
    moment_tol : float, optional
        The tolerance for the generic calculation of moments
    values : tuple of two array_like
        (xk, pk) where xk are points (integers) with positive probability pk
        with sum(pk) = 1
    inc : integer
        increment for the support of the distribution, default: 1
        other values have not been tested
    badvalue : object, optional
        The value in (masked) arrays that indicates a value that should be
        ignored.
    name : str, optional
        The name of the instance. This string is used to construct the default
        example for distributions.
    longname : str, optional
        This string is used as part of the first line of the docstring returned
        when a subclass has no docstring of its own. Note: `longname` exists
        for backwards compatibility, do not use for new subclasses.
    shapes : str, optional
        The shape of the distribution. For example ``"m, n"`` for a
        distribution that takes two integers as the first two arguments for all
        its methods.
    extradoc :  str, optional
        This string is used as the last part of the docstring returned when a
        subclass has no docstring of its own. Note: `extradoc` exists for
        backwards compatibility, do not use for new subclasses.

        calling a distribution instance returns a frozen distribution

    Notes
    -----

    You can construct an arbitrary discrete rv where ``P{X=xk} = pk``
    by passing to the rv_discrete initialization method (through the
    values=keyword) a tuple of sequences (xk, pk) which describes only those
    values of X (xk) that occur with nonzero probability (pk).

    To create a new discrete distribution, we would do the following::

        class poisson_gen(rv_continuous):
            #"Poisson distribution"
            def _pmf(self, k, mu):
                ...

    and create an instance::

        poisson = poisson_gen(name="poisson", shapes="mu",
                              longname='A Poisson')

    The docstring can be created from a template.

    Alternatively, the object may be called (as a function) to fix the shape
    and location parameters returning a "frozen" discrete RV object::

        myrv = generic(<shape(s)>, loc=0)
            - frozen RV object with the same methods but holding the given
              shape and location fixed.

    Examples
    --------

    Custom made discrete distribution:

    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> from scipy import stats
    >>> xk = np.arange(7)
    >>> pk = (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1)
    >>> custm = stats.rv_discrete(name='custm', values=(xk, pk))
    >>> h = plt.plot(xk, custm.pmf(xk))

    Random number generation:

    >>> R = custm.rvs(size=100)

    Display frozen pmf:

    >>> numargs = generic.numargs
    >>> [ <shape(s)> ] = ['Replace with resonable value', ]*numargs
    >>> rv = generic(<shape(s)>)
    >>> x = np.arange(0, np.min(rv.dist.b, 3)+1)
    >>> h = plt.plot(x, rv.pmf(x))

    Here, ``rv.dist.b`` is the right endpoint of the support of ``rv.dist``.

    Check accuracy of cdf and ppf:

    >>> prb = generic.cdf(x, <shape(s)>)
    >>> h = plt.semilogy(np.abs(x-generic.ppf(prb, <shape(s)>))+1e-20)
