Distributions defined in Turing: is the plan to keep them here?

Open DominiqueMakowski opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I recently spent some time looking for OrderedLogistic, assuming that it was in Distributions.jl, but actually it was defined directly in Turing

https://github.com/TuringLang/Turing.jl/blob/4766fdde20ca9502472afcb991bd05f984d3ad35/src/stdlib/distributions.jl#L147-L168

Out of curiosity, is there a reason not to move these distributions to Distributions.jl where their documentation might benefit from increased visibility?

IIRC I moved a few of them (quite a while ago), and my impression has always been that they should be moved if they are of more general interest.

We are happy to move more distributions in this repo, and also DistributionsAD to Distributions.jl, particularly the autodiff rules currently in DistributionsAD.
