31 All the code in this library is inside namespace boost::math.
34 In order to use a distribution
<span class=
"emphasis"><em>my_distribution
</em></span> you
35 will need to include either the header
<boost/math/my_distribution.hpp
>
36 or the
"include all the distributions" header:
<boost/math/distributions.hpp
>.
39 For example, to use the Students-t distribution include either
<boost/math/students_t.hpp
>
40 or
<boost/math/distributions.hpp
>
43 You also need to bring distribution names into scope, perhaps with a
<code class=
"computeroutput"><span class=
"keyword">using
</span> <span class=
"keyword">namespace
</span>
44 <span class=
"identifier">boost
</span><span class=
"special">::
</span><span class=
"identifier">math
</span><span class=
"special">;
</span></code>
48 or specific
<code class=
"computeroutput"><span class=
"keyword">using
</span></code> declarations
49 like
<code class=
"computeroutput"><span class=
"keyword">using
</span> <span class=
"identifier">boost
</span><span class=
"special">::
</span><span class=
"identifier">math
</span><span class=
"special">::
</span><span class=
"identifier">normal
</span><span class=
"special">;
</span></code> (
<span class=
"bold"><strong>recommended
</strong></span>).
