Compute summaries within elements of an rvar and over draws of each element,
producing an array of the same shape as the input random variable (except in
the case of range(), see Details).

is.na(x)
A numeric or logical vector with the same dimensions as the given random variable, where
each entry in the vector is the mean, median, or variance of the corresponding entry in x.
(rvar) An rvar.
Further arguments passed to underlying functions (e.g.,
base::mean() or base::median()), such as na.rm.
Summaries include expectations (E() or mean()), probabilities (Pr()),
medians (median()), spread (var(), variance(), sd(), mad()), sums and
products (sum(), prod()), extrema and ranges (min(), max(), range()),
logical summaries (all(), any()), and special value predicates (is.finite(),
is.infinite(), is.nan(), is.na()).
Unless otherwise stated, these functions return a numeric array with the same shape
(same dimensions) as the input rvar, x.
range(x) returns an array with dimensions c(2, dim(x)), where the last
dimension contains the minimum and maximum values.
is.infinite(x), is.nan(x), and is.na(x) return logical arrays, where each
element is TRUE if any draws in its corresponding element in x match
the predicate. Each elements in the result of is.finite(x) is TRUE if
all draws in the corresponding element in x are finite.
Both E(), mean(), and Pr() return the means of each element in the input.
Pr() additionally checks that the provided rvar
is a logical variable (hence, taking its expectation results in a probability).
For consistency, E() and Pr() are also defined for base arrays so that
they can be used as summary functions in summarise_draws().

x = rvar_rng(rnorm, 4, mean = 1:4, sd = 2)
# These should all be ~= c(1, 2, 3, 4)
E(x)

median(x)
# This ...
Pr(x < 1.5)
# ... should be about the same as this:
pnorm(1.5, mean = 1:4, sd = 2)
