Possible Issues  (1)

MarchenkoPastur distribution with is a mixed type distribution, which is neither continuous nor discrete:

The CDF for such MarchenkoPastur distributions is discontinuous at :

The probability density function for MarchenkoPastur distribution with is not defined, and PDF returns unevaluated:

Differentiation of the CDF results in a function that does not integrate to one:

Computations with mixed type distributions are fully supported. Compute special moments:
