Reference issue
Toward gh-18331
What does this implement/fix?
gh-18331 notes that tests of
stats.dgamma.entropy
are failing due to a NumPy deprecation. This attempts to avoid the deprecated NumPy usage. Incidentally, it also simplifies the override by relying onstats.gamma._entropy
to perform the calculation.Additional information
See #18162 (comment) for related derivation. The same approach can be used for any similar "double" distributions.
gh-18352 will fix the pesky lint failure.
