          The location parameter <span class="emphasis"><em>x<sub>0</sub></em></span> is the location of the peak
          of the distribution (the mode of the distribution), while the scale parameter
          γ specifies half the width of the PDF at half the maximum height. If the
          location is zero, and the scale 1, then the result is a standard Cauchy
          distribution.
