max_rand_distribution_parameter

| 26.4 | 1000000 | New setting to limit shape parameters in random distribution functions, preventing hangs with extreme inputs. |
Maximum value for distribution shape parameters in random distribution functions such as randChiSquared, randStudentT, and randFisherF. This prevents extremely long computation times with extreme parameter values. 0 disables the limit; values for which the sampler does not terminate at all are still rejected.
max_rand_distribution_trials
Version history

| 26.4 | 1000000000 | New setting to limit trial counts in random distribution functions, preventing hangs with extreme inputs. |
Maximum number of trials allowed for random distribution functions such as randBinomial and randNegativeBinomial. This prevents extremely long computation times with large trial counts. 0 disables the limit, and the setting may be raised above its default, except for randBinomial with a probability strictly between 0 and 1, which always rejects more than 10^9 trials because the cost of a single sample is proportional to the number of trials in the worst case, with a probability that grows with it. The probabilities 0 and 1 are exempt from that hard cap, because a sample costs constant time for them.
