class HalfCauchy(TransformedDistribution):

    Creates a half-Cauchy distribution parameterized by `scale` where::

        X ~ Cauchy(0, scale)
        Y = |X| ~ HalfCauchy(scale)

    Example::

        >>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT("non-deterinistic")
        >>> m = HalfCauchy(torch.tensor([1.0]))
        >>> m.sample()  # half-cauchy distributed with scale=1
        tensor([ 2.3214])

        scale (float or Tensor): scale of the full Cauchy distribution
