v0.3.0

Highlights

• Distribution-level support (get_support) — every registered distribution now records where its outcomes live, distinct from each parameter's support:

  • Static supports: get_support("normal") → (-∞, ∞), get_support("half_normal") → [0, ∞)
  • Parameter-dependent supports: get_support("binomial", n=10) → [0, 10] ∩ ℤ — hypergeometric, truncated_normal, von_mises, generalized_pareto, generalized_extreme, and more derive bounds from parameter values
  • Symbolic resolution: called without values, bounds come back as the parameter names or expressions over them — get_support("binomial") → [0, n] ∩ ℤ

• Downstream build-time checks can reject observations outside the likelihood's support and name the violated bound:

  from distparams import get_support
  
  support = get_support("gamma")
  if not support.contains(y):
      raise ValueError(f"gamma requires observations in {support}, got {y}")

• All built-in distributions declare supports (vector- and matrix-valued distributions excepted — the exempt list is pinned by the test suite).
