Josef, the changes are here:
http://github.com/rgommers/scipy/tree/statsdocsFor examples of new
docstrings, see maxwell, wald and nbinom.

Do you use git, or would you prefer it if I opened a ticket and attached a
diff?

The things I was not sure about:
1. do you want the old-style classes with better help()? I actually consider
this a bug:
>>> help(wald)
Help on wald_gen .....         # I asked for help on wald, not wald_gen

2. Where should doccer.py live? Now I do "from scipy.ndimage import doccer",
but doccer is useful in multiple SciPy modules, and probably in NumPy as
well. Could we move it to NumPy?

Cheers,
Ralf
