Description
Extreme value distribution's mean and standard_deviation use both detail::check_scale
for location parameter a, which seems wrong, as there's no limitation for location parameter a (besides being finite).
This causes even a standard extreme value distribution to fail:
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(checkScaleIssueMean) { boost::math::extreme_value_distribution<> G; boost::math::mean(G); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(checkScaleIssueStd) { boost::math::extreme_value_distribution<> G; boost::math::standard_deviation(G); }
with
std::domain_error: Error in function boost::math::mean(const extreme_value_distribution<double>&): Scale parameter is 0, but must be > 0 ! std::domain_error: Error in function boost::math::standard_deviation(const extreme_value_distribution<double>&): Scale parameter is 0, but must be > 0 !
