Document `Data.Random.Distribution.Exponential` #39

Closed bch29 closed 7 years ago

bch29 commented 7 years ago

I used random-fu to simulate a random process for some university work, as a means to verify an analytic solution of the same process. I was very confused for a long time because I assumed the exponential function accepted parameter lambda, rather the mean, 1 / lambda. Here's some documentation so that doesn't happen to anyone else!

Hello, I ran into the very same issue and realized that the documentation is not yet visible on hackage.

I got confused as to which commit/tag the versions on hackage corresponds to.

On hackage, I see versions from 0.0.0.2 up to 0.2.7.0, but here on GitHub, only three tags or so exist. Which commit does the last version on hackage point to? Thank you!

I don't have access to a computer ATM but will be able to make a new release next week.
