Warning:No such macro definition found!, request: (Empty)
Purpose
Before this template there was just Template:ProbMacro because a nicely formatted probability statement was hard, up until then I'd resisted using macros, however then came Template:ProbMacros which adds \E and \Mdm.
Rather than clutter the template namespace with macros plural and not all over the place I have decided to use:
- Macro: a small collection of 1 (possibly, but rarely more) macros, where prob will introduce only \P and \Pcond, and mod will introduce only \mod (modulo operation)
- I may extend this to use a second argument to communicate with the defining page (a sub-page of Template data:Macro/List), for example to request only \Pcond from the prob group
- Macro suit: this is a collection ("suit") of individual macros (defined on the previous bullet point) which are commonly needed together, for example a prob-suit could introduce the prob macros and macros for expected value (\E), variance (\Var), Mdm (\Mdm) and so forth
