Hi all,
In gh-14830 <https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/14830>, we have been discussing if the newly integrated functionality of the UNU.RAN library should be present in its own submodule under `scipy.stats`. As most of the random variate generators are quite complicated for a regular user and the naming convention is a bit confusing, it would be better to put them in a separate submodule under `scipy.stats`.
We have been considering naming the submodule `sampling` or `random_sampling`. Other candidates are `random` and `rv_sampling`. Anything that implies "sampling random numbers from arbitrary distributions" could work. It would be great if you could help us choose the name!
-- Thanks, Tirth Patel
Hi all, +1 from me for `sampling` too. I'd also recommend against `random` as we already have `scipy.random` which may lead to confusion. Kai On Thu, 11 Nov 2021 at 03:37, Christoph Baumgarten < christoph.baumgarten@gmail.com> wrote:
