      Description copied from class: `Lambda`
      Computes the lambda parameter.
      Specified by:
        `lambda` in class `Lambda`

    - #### explain

          public final Explanation explain(BasicStats stats)

      Description copied from class: `Lambda`
      Explains the lambda parameter.
      Specified by:

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Description copied from class: `Lambda`
      Subclasses must override this method to return the code of the lambda formula. Since the original paper is not very clear on this matter, and also uses the DFR naming scheme incorrectly, the codes here were chosen arbitrarily.
