The following parameter values are defined for internal use in this notebook. They will be shadowed by definitions in the current context when this package is being used.

NOTE: Devore uses the convention that all PDFs are defined for the entire real line, with appropriate conditional definitions used to set the PDF to zero where appropriate. It is more convenient in the Mathematica environment to define the PDF over an interval on the real line, called the support, with the convention that the PDF is zero at all other points.
