According to both Wolfram and Wikipedia, a [Hypersphere](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hypersphere.html) is _always_ the surface, while a [Ball](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Ball.html) (a.k.a. n-Disk) is what we have erroneously been calling a sphere (and is the default). It may be too late to change this, so perhaps we should make this clear in the documentation? Or, at the very least, keep this note in mind for any time we're talking about these things to people."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nengo/nengo/issues/comments/166140949","html_url":"https://github.com/nengo/nengo/issues/923#issuecomment-166140949","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nengo/nengo/issues/923","id":166140949,"user":{"login":"arvoelke","id":5420057,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5420057?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke","html_url":"https://github.com/arvoelke","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvoelke/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-20T17:54:49Z","updated_at":"2015-12-20T17:54:49Z","body":"Related note: In #768 we mentioned we should use `ppf` instead of `invcdf` to be consistent with `scipy.stats`.
