        # gbdist package
        
        This package provides some methods for Gaussian distribution and Binomial distribution classes.
        
        ## Gaussian - Gaussian distribution class for calculating and visualizing a Gaussian distribution.
        Attributes:
        mean (float) - representing the mean value of the distribution.
        stdev (float) - representing the standard deviation of the distribution.
        data_list (list of floats) - a list of floats extracted from the data file.
        
        ## Methods:
        calculate_mean() - Function to calculate the mean of the data set.
        calculate_stdev() - Function to calculate the standard deviation of the data set.
        plot_histogram() - Function to output a histogram of the instance variable data using matplotlib pyplot library.
        read_data_file(filename) - Function to read in data from a txt file. The txt file should have one number (float) per line. The numbers are stored in the data attribute.
        pdf(x) - Probability density function calculator for the gaussian distribution
        Args:
        x (float): point for calculating the probability density function
        Returns:
        float: probability density function output
        plot_histogram_pdf(n_spaces = 50) - Function to plot the normalized histogram of the data and a plot of the probability density function along the same range
        Args:
        n_spaces (int): number of data points
        Returns:
        list: x values for the pdf plot
        list: y values for the pdf plot
        __add__(other) - Function to add together two Gaussian distributions
        Args:
        other (Gaussian): Gaussian instance
        Returns:
        Gaussian: Gaussian distribution
        __repr__() - Function to output the characteristics of the Gaussian instance
        
        
        ## Binomial - Binomial distribution class for calculating and visualizing a Binomial distribution.
        Attributes:
        mean (float) representing the mean value of the distribution
        stdev (float) representing the standard deviation of the distribution
        data_list (list of floats) a list of floats to be extracted from the data file
        p (float) representing the probability of an event occurring
        n (int) number of trials
        
        ## Methods:
        calculate_mean() - Function to calculate the mean from p and n
        calculate_stdev() - Function to calculate the standard deviation from p and n.
        read_data_file(filename) - Function to read in data from a txt file. The txt file should have one number (float) per line. The numbers are stored in the data attribute.
        replace_stats_with_data() - Function to calculate p and n from the data set
        Args:
        None
        Returns:
        float: the p value
        float: the n value
        plot_bar() - Function to output a histogram of the instance variable data using matplotlib pyplot library.
        pdf(k) - Probability density function calculator for the gaussian distribution.
        Args:
        x (float): point for calculating the probability density function
        Returns:
        float: probability density function output
        plot_bar_pdf() - Function to plot the pdf of the binomial distribution
        Args:
        None
        Returns:
        list: x values for the pdf plot
        list: y values for the pdf plot
        __add__(other) - Function to add together two Binomial distributions with equal p
        Args:
        other (Binomial): Binomial instance
        Returns:
        Binomial: Binomial distribution
        __repr__() - Function to output the characteristics of the Binomial instance.
