### toPointSet
**TODO: Will soon be called "PointSet.make"**
Converts a distribution to the pointSet format.
```
toPointSet: (distribution) => pointSetDistribution
```
**Examples**
```javascript
toPointSet(normal(5, 2));
```
### toSampleSet
**TODO: Will soon be called "SampleSet.make"**
Converts a distribution to the sampleSet format, with n samples.
```
toSampleSet: (distribution, number) => sampleSetDistribution
```
**Examples**
```javascript
toSampleSet(normal(5, 2), 1000);
```
### truncateLeft
Truncates the left side of a distribution. Returns either a pointSet distribution or a symbolic distribution.

```
### inspect
Prints the value of the distribution to the Javascript console, then returns the distribution. Useful for debugging.
```
inspect: (distribution) => distribution
```
**Examples**
```javascript
inspect(normal(5, 2)); // logs "normal(5, 2)" to the javascript console and returns the distribution.
```
## Normalization
There are some situations where computation will return unnormalized distributions. This means that their cumulative sums are not equal to 1.0. Unnormalized distributions are not valid for many relevant functions; for example, klDivergence and scoring.
