@Planeshifter Why do these tests not match test.mgf.js? The tolerances have also been increased. I suggest revisiting this test file.

[Planeshifter]

Aligned the tolerances; but in this case, the native test file is actually more comprehensive (I had to do some clean-up before merge) and the main one incorrectly referred to x parameter instead of t.

[AadishJ]

Hey please let me know if I can help

[Planeshifter]

@AadishJ Thanks for the offer! Will ping you on any other open PRs should I see any discrepancies that we should look into. In this case, I mainly took the tests from the test.native.js and updated the main test file accordingly, while then tweaking the names to avoid a reference to "range", since lambda should be referred to as the mean parameter.
