It seems unnecessarily convoluted to name the input arguments "loc" and "scale", then immediately define them as the "mean" and "standard deviation" in the Parameters section, and then again rename them as "mu" and "sigma" in the written formula. I propose to simply change the argument names to "mean" and "sigma" to improve consistency.

Change the name of keyword arguments? This would be evil.
