Wrong value for beta used? #14

Closed tomasstolker closed 9 months ago

tomasstolker commented 9 months ago

Should this presumably be beta = self.beta instead of beta = self.alpha?

Does look like it should indeed be beta= self.beta. The values in the comments still refer to the Gaia DR2 priors, so I should clean that up. The method implemented here is the generalized gamma distribution from Gaia DR3.
