Create a Gaussian/normal distribution.
Parameters
----------
center : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The center of this distribution
std : `~astropy.units.Quantity` or None
The standard deviation/σ of this distribution. Shape must match and unit
must be compatible with ``center``, or be `None` (if ``var`` or ``ivar``
are set).
var : `~astropy.units.Quantity` or None
The variance of this distribution. Shape must match and unit must be
compatible with ``center``, or be `None` (if ``std`` or ``ivar`` are set).
ivar : `~astropy.units.Quantity` or None
The inverse variance of this distribution. Shape must match and unit
must be compatible with ``center``, or be `None` (if ``std`` or ``var``
are set).

distr : `~astropy.uncertainty.Distribution` or object

Create a Uniform distriution from the lower and upper bounds.
Note that this function requires keywords to be explicit, and requires
either ``lower``/``upper`` or ``center``/``width``.
Parameters
----------
lower : array-like
The lower edge of this distribution. If a `~astropy.units.Quantity`, the
distribution will have the same units as ``lower``.
upper : `~astropy.units.Quantity`
The upper edge of this distribution. Must match shape and if a
`~astropy.units.Quantity` must have compatible units with ``lower``.
center : array-like
The center value of the distribution. Cannot be provided at the same
time as ``lower``/``upper``.
width : array-like
The width of the distribution. Must have the same shape and compatible
units with ``center`` (if any).
