+
+Implements a full suite of random number distributions sampling routines.
+
+This crate is a super-set of the [rand::distributions] module, including support
+for sampling from Beta, Binomial, Cauchy, ChiSquared, Dirichlet, exponential,
+Fisher F, Gamma, Log-normal, Normal, Pareto, Poisson, StudentT, Triangular and
+Weibull distributions, as well as sampling points from the unit circle and unit
+sphere surface.
+
+It is worth mentioning the [statrs] crate which provides similar functionality
+along with various support functions, including PDF and CDF computation. In
+contrast, this `rand_distr` crate focusses on sampling from distributions.
+
+Unlike most Rand crates, `rand_distr` does not currently support `no_std`.
