Manuel Raimann 8239cc58a1 refactor: replace rand 0.10 with fastrand 2.3
fastrand is smaller, faster, and has no dependencies. Add rng_util
helper for f64 range generation since fastrand lacks a built-in
equivalent. Migrate all samplers, KDE modules, and fANOVA to use
fastrand's concrete Rng type instead of rand's trait-based generics.

//! Kernel Density Estimation for continuous parameters.
//!
//! This module provides a Gaussian kernel density estimator used by the TPE
//! sampler to model probability distributions over good and bad trial regions.

///
/// KDE estimates a probability density function from a set of samples by
/// placing Gaussian kernels centered at each sample point. This is used
/// in TPE to model the distributions l(x) (good trials) and g(x) (bad trials).

/// ```ignore

///
/// let samples = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0];
