This package implements a set of functions for transforming constrained random variables (e.g. simplexes, intervals) to Euclidean space. The 3 main functions implemented in this package are the link, invlink and logpdf_with_trans for a number of distributions. The distributions supported are:

1. RealDistribution: Union{Cauchy, Gumbel, Laplace, Logistic, NoncentralT, Normal, NormalCanon, TDist},
2. PositiveDistribution: Union{BetaPrime, Chi, Chisq, Erlang, Exponential, FDist, Frechet, Gamma, InverseGamma, InverseGaussian, Kolmogorov, LogNormal, NoncentralChisq, NoncentralF, Rayleigh, Weibull},
3. UnitDistribution: Union{Beta, KSOneSided, NoncentralBeta},
4. SimplexDistribution: Union{Dirichlet},
5. PDMatDistribution: Union{InverseWishart, Wishart}, and
6. TransformDistribution: Union{T, Truncated{T}} where T<:ContinuousUnivariateDistribution.

All exported names from the Distributions.jl package are reexported from Bijectors.

1. link: maps a sample of a random distribution dist from its support to a value in R^n. Example:

julia> using Bijectors

julia> dist = Beta(2, 2)
Beta{Float64}(α=2.0, β=2.0)

julia> x = rand(dist)

0.7472542331020509

julia> y = link(dist, x)
1.084021356473311

2. invlink: the inverse of the link function. Example:

julia> z = invlink(dist, y)
0.6543406780096065

julia> x == z
true

3. logpdf_with_trans: finds log of the (transformed) probability density function of a distribution dist at a sample x. Example:

julia> using Bijectors

julia> dist = Dirichlet(2, 3)
Dirichlet{Float64}(alpha=[3.0, 3.0])

julia> x = rand(dist)
