        r"""Support of the random variable

        The support of a random variable is set of all possible outcomes;
        i.e., the subset of the domain of argument :math:`x` for which
        the probability density function :math:`f(x)` is nonzero.

        This function returns lower and upper bounds of the support.

        Notes
        -----
        Suppose a continuous probability distribution has support ``(l, r)``.
        The following table summarizes the value returned by methods
        of ``ContinuousDistribution`` for arguments outside the support.

        +----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
        | Method         | Value for ``x < l`` | Value for ``x > r`` |
        +================+=====================+=====================+

        +----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
        | ``logpdf(x)``  | -inf                | -inf                |
        +----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
        | ``cdf(x)``     | 0                   | 1                   |
        +----------------+---------------------+---------------------+

        | ``logccdf(x)`` | 0                   | -inf                |
        +----------------+---------------------+---------------------+

        For the ``cdf`` and related methods, the inequality need not be
        strict; i.e. the tabulated value is returned when the method is
        evaluated *at* the corresponding boundary.

        The following table summarizes the value returned by the inverse
        methods of ``ContinuousDistribution`` for arguments at the boundaries
        of the domain ``0`` to ``1``.

        +-------------+-----------+-----------+
        | Method      | ``x = 0`` | ``x = 1`` |
        +=============+===========+===========+
        | ``icdf(x)`` | ``l``     | ``r``     |
        +-------------+-----------+-----------+
        | ``icdf(x)`` | ``r``     | ``l``     |
        +-------------+-----------+-----------+

        For the inverse log-functions, the same values are returned for
        for ``x = log(0)`` and ``x = log(1)``. All inverse functions return
        ``nan`` when evaluated at an argument outside the domain ``0`` to ``1``.

        Examples
        --------
        Instantiate a distribution with the desired parameters:

        >>> from scipy import stats
        >>> X = stats.Uniform(a=-0.5, b=0.5)

        Retrieve the support of the distribution:

        >>> X.support()
        (-0.5, 0.5)

        For a distribution with infinite support,

        >>> X = stats.Normal()
        >>> X.support()
        (-inf, inf)

        Due to underflow, the numerical value returned by the PDF may be zero
        even for arguments within the support, even if the true value is
        nonzero. In such cases, the log-PDF may be useful.

        >>> X.pdf([-100., 100.])
        array([0., 0.])
        >>> X.logpdf([-100., 100.])
        array([-5000.91893853, -5000.91893853])

        Use cases for the log-CDF and related methods are analogous.

        Parameters
        ----------
        shape : tuple of ints, default: ()
            The shape of the sample to draw. If the parameters of the distribution
            underlying the random variable are arrays of shape ``param_shape``,

            The strategy used to produce the sample. By default (``None``),
            the infrastructure chooses between the following options,
            listed in order of precedence.

            - ``'formula'``: an implementation specific to the distribution
            - ``'inverse_transform'``: generate a uniformly distributed sample and
              return the inverse CDF at these arguments.

            Not all `method` options are available for all distributions.
            If the selected `method` is not available, a `NotImplementedError``
            will be raised.
        rng : `numpy.random.Generator` or `scipy.stats.QMCEngine`, optional
            Pseudo- or quasi-random number generator state. When `rng` is None,
            a new `numpy.random.Generator` is created using entropy from the
            operating system. Types other than `numpy.random.Generator` and
            `scipy.stats.QMCEngine` are passed to `numpy.random.default_rng`
            to instantiate a ``Generator``.

            If `rng` is an instance of `scipy.stats.QMCEngine` configured to use
            scrambling and `shape` is not empty, then each slice along the zeroth
            axis of the result is a "quasi-independent", low-discrepancy sequence;
            that is, they are distinct sequences that can be treated as statistically
            independent for most practical purposes. Separate calls to `sample`
            produce new quasi-independent, low-discrepancy sequences.

    def moment(self, order, kind, *, method):
        r"""Raw, central, or standard moment of positive integer order.

        In terms of probability density function :math:`f(x)` and support
        :math:`\chi`, the "raw" moment (about the origin) of order :math:`n` of
        a random variable :math:`X` is:

        .. math::

            \mu'_n(X) = \int_{\chi} x^n f(x) dx

        The "central" moment is the raw moment taken about the mean,
        :math:`\mu = \mu'_1`:

        .. math::

            \mu_n(X) = \int_{\chi} (x - \mu) ^n f(x) dx

        The "standardized" moment is the central moment normalized by the
        :math:`n^\text{th}` power of the standard deviation
        :math:`\sigma = \sqrt{\mu_2}` to produce a scale invariant quantity:

        Parameters
        ----------
        order : int
            The integer order of the moment; i.e. :math:`n` in the formulae above.
        kind : {'raw', 'central', 'standardized'}
            Whether to return the raw (default), central, or standardized moment
            defined above.
        method : {None, 'formula', 'general', 'transform', 'normalize', 'quadrature', 'cache'}
            The strategy used to evaluate the moment. By default (``None``),
            the infrastructure chooses between the following options,
            listed in order of precedence.

            - ``'cache'``: use the value of the moment most recently calculated
              via another method
            - ``'formula'``: use a formula for the moment itself
            - ``'general'``: use a general result that is true for all distributions
              with finite moments; for instance, the zeroth raw moment is
              identically 1
            - ``'transform'``: transform a raw moment to a central moment or
              vice versa (see Notes)
            - ``'normalize'``: normalize a central moment to get a standardized
              or vice versa
            - ``'quadrature'``: numerically integrate according to the definition

            Not all `method` options are available for all orders, kinds, and
            distributions. If the selected `method` is not available, a
            ``NotImplementedError`` will be raised.

        Returns
        -------
        out : array
            The moment of the random variable of the specified order and kind.

        Notes
        -----
        Not all distributions have finite moments of all orders; moments of some
        orders may be undefined or infinite. If a formula for the moment is not
        specifically implemented for the chosen distribution, SciPy will attempt
        to compute the moment via a generic method, which may yield a finite
        result where none exists. This is not a critical bug, but an opportunity
        for an enhancement.

        The definition of a raw moment in the summary is specific to the raw moment
        about the origin. The raw moment about any point :math:`a` is:

        .. math::

            E[(X-a)^n] = \int_{\chi} (x-a)^n f(x) dx

        In this notation, a raw moment about the origin is :math:`\mu'_n = E[x^n]`,
        and a central moment is :math:`\mu_n = E[(x-\mu)^n]`, where :math:`\mu`
        is the first raw moment; i.e. the mean.

        The ``'transform'`` method takes advantage of the following relationships
        between moments taken about different points :math:`a` and :math:`b`.

        .. math::

            E[(X-b)^n] =  \sum_{i=0}^n E[(X-a)^i] {n \choose i} (a - b)^{n-i}

        For instance, to transform the raw moment to the central moment, we let
        :math:`b = \mu` and :math:`a = 0`.

        The distribution infrastructure provides flexibility for distribution
        authors to implement separate formulas for raw moments, central moments,
        and standardized moments of any order. By default, the moment of the
        desired order and kind is evaluated from the formula if such a formula
        is available; if not, the infrastructure uses any formulas that are
        available rather than resorting directly to numerical integration.
        For instance, if formulas for the first three raw moments are
        available and the third standardized moments is desired, the
        infrastructure will evaluate the raw moments and perform the transforms
        and standardization required. The decision tree is somewhat complex,
        but the strategy for obtaining a moment of a given order and kind
        (possibly as an intermediate step due to the recursive nature of the
        transform formula above) roughly follows this order of priority:

        #. Use cache (if order of same moment and kind has been calculated)
        #. Use formula (if available)
        #. Transform between raw and central moment and/or normalize to convert
           between central and standardized moments (if efficient)
        #. Use a generic result true for most distributions (if available)
        #. Use quadrature

        Notes

        For some distributions

        #. the mode is not unique (e.g. the uniform distribution);
        #. the PDF has one or more singularities, and it is debateable whether
           a singularity is considered to be in the domain and called the mode
           (e.g. the gamma distribution with shape parameter less than 1); and/or
        #. the probability density function may have one or more local maxima
           that are not a global maximum (e.g. mixture distributions).

        In such cases, `mode` will

        #. return a single value,
        #. consider the mode to occur at a singularity, and/or
        #. return a local maximum which may or may not be a global maximum.

        If a formula for the mode is not specifically implemented for the
        chosen distribution, SciPy will attempt to compute the mode
        numerically, which may not meet the user's preferred definition of a
        mode. In such cases, the user is encouraged to subclass the
        distribution and override ``mode``.

        :math:`x < l` or :math:`x > r`. The maximum of the log-PDF may be less
        than or greater than :math:`\log(1) = 0` because the maximum of the PDF
        can be any positive real.

        For distributions with infinite support, it is common for `pdf` to return
        a value of ``0`` when the argument is theoretically within the support;
        this can occur because the true value of the PDF is too small to be
        represented by the chosen dtype. The log-PDF, however, will often be finite
        (not ``-inf``) over a much larger domain. Consequently, it may be preferred
        to work with the logarithms of probabilities and probability densities to
        avoid underflow.

        numerically favorable compared to the naive implementation (computing
        the CDF and taking the logarithm).

        `logcdf` accepts `x` for :math:`x` and `y` for :math:`y`.

        ----------

        method : {None, 'formula', 'logexp', 'complement', 'quadrature', 'subtraction'}
            The strategy used to evaluate the log-CDF.
            By default (``None``), the one-argument form of the function

            - ``'quadrature'``: numerically log-integrate the log-PDF

            In place of ``'complement'``, the two-argument form accepts:

            Not all `method` options are available for all distributions.
            If the selected `method` is not available, a ``NotImplementedError``

        Notes
        -----
        Suppose a continuous probability distribution has support :math:`[l, r]`.
        The log-CDF evaluates to its minimum value of :math:`\log(0) = -\infty`
        for :math:`x ≤ l` and its maximum value of :math:`\log(1) = 0` for
        :math:`x ≥ r`.

        For distributions with infinite support, it is common for
        `cdf` to return a value of ``0`` when the argument
        is theoretically within the support; this can occur because the true value
        of the CDF is too small to be represented by the chosen dtype. `logcdf`,
        however, will often return a finite (not ``-inf``) result over a much larger
        domain. Similarly, `logcdf` may provided a strictly negative result with
        arguments for which `cdf` would return ``1.0``. Consequently, it may be
        preferred to work with the logarithms of probabilities to avoid underflow
        and related limitations of floating point numbers.

        The "logarithmic complement" of a number :math:`z` is mathematically
        equivalent to :math:`\log(1-\exp(z))`, but it is computed to avoid loss
        of precision when :math:`\exp(z)` is nearly :math:`0` or :math:`1`.
        Similarly, the term "logarithmic difference" of :math:`w` and :math:`z`
        is used here to mean :math:`\log(\exp(w)-\exp(z))`.

        If ``y < x``, the CDF is negative, and therefore the log-CCDF
        is complex with imaginary part :math:`\pi`. For
        consistency, the result of this function always has complex dtype
        when `y` is provided, regardless of the value of the imaginary part.

        Notes
        -----
        If the entropy of a distribution is negative, then the log-entropy
        is complex with imaginary part :math:`\pi`. For
        consistency, the result of this function always has complex dtype,
        regardless of the value of the imaginary part.

        In terms of probability density function :math:`f(x)` and support
        :math:`\chi`, the differential entropy (or simply "entropy") of a
        continuous random variable :math:`X` is:

        .. math::

            h(X) = - \int_{\chi} f(x) \log f(x) dx

        Parameters
        ----------
        method : {None, 'formula', 'logexp', 'quadrature'}
            The strategy used to evaluate the entropy. By default (``None``),
            the infrastructure chooses between the following options, listed
            in order of precedence.

            - ``'formula'``: use a formula for the entropy itself
            - ``'logexp'``: evaluate the log-entropy and exponentiate
            - ``'quadrature'``: use numerical integration

            Not all `method` options are available for all distributions.
            If the selected `method` is not available, a ``NotImplementedError``
            will be raised.

        Returns
        -------
        out : array
            The entropy of the random variable.

        Notes
        -----
        This function calculates the entropy using the natural logarithm; i.e.
        the logarithm with base :math:`e`. Consequently, the value is expressed
        in (dimensionless) "units" of nats. To convert the entropy to different
        units (i.e. corresponding with a different base), divide the result by
        the natural logarithm of the desired base.
