{{alias}}( x, μ, c )
Evaluates the probability density function (PDF) for a Lévy distribution
with location parameter `μ` and scale parameter `c` at a value `x`.
If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
If provided `c <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
Parameters
----------
x: number
Input value.
μ: number
Location parameter.
c: number
Scale parameter.
Returns
-------
out: number
Evaluated PDF.
Examples
--------
> var y = {{alias}}( 2.0, 0.0, 1.0 )
~0.11
> y = {{alias}}( -1.0, 4.0, 2.0 )
0.0
> y = {{alias}}( NaN, 0.0, 1.0 )
NaN
> y = {{alias}}( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 )
NaN
> y = {{alias}}( 0.0, 0.0, NaN )
NaN
// Negative scale parameter:
> y = {{alias}}( 2.0, 0.0, -1.0 )
NaN
{{alias}}.factory( μ, c )
