x=normal(0,1)
pow(x,2)
yields the error message
Distribution Math Error: Operation returned complex result
This doesn't make sense because the square of a real number is always a positive real number and never a complex number.
I encountered this error while testing my own implementation of a function for calculating the standard deviation of a random variable. I was very surprised that stdev and other elementary functions haven't been implemented yet.
