I do not have the time and am not familiar with this codebase, but there are several broken links in the "guide-dist" page. This is due to the fact that the distributions were split out from this crate at some point in the past into the rand_dist crate.
Verification of Issue
Go to the documentation generated from this page and find this text:
The Normal distribution (also known as Gaussian) simulates sampling from the Normal distribution ("Bell curve") with the given mean and standard deviation.
The [`Normal`] distribution (also known as Gaussian) simulates sampling from
the Normal distribution ("Bell curve") with the given mean and standard
deviation.
which uses a WIkilink style link.
Proposed Mitigation
This would need to be updated to use a full Markdown link (in the style (text)[URI]) to be fixed.
I have checked, and there are more instances of this on the page, probably many, so I don't want to try to fix only 1 or 2. If anyone more familiar with the project sees this, they might have a better idea which links need fixing.
Overview
Severity: Low
I do not have the time and am not familiar with this codebase, but there are several broken links in the "guide-dist" page. This is due to the fact that the distributions were split out from this crate at some point in the past into the rand_dist crate.
Verification of Issue
Go to the documentation generated from this page and find this text:
The word "Normal" is pointing to the link
https://rust-random.github.com/rust-random/rand/rand/distributions/struct.Normal.html
but it should point to
https://rust-random.github.io/rand/rand_distr/struct.Normal.html
Explanation
This is because it is generated from the text
which uses a WIkilink style link.
