Hey @kgryte & @Planeshifter I have taken reference from normal/mgf for this feature, looking forward if any change is required!

@shubham220420 Left a few initial comments I'll suggest you to refer https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib/tree/develop/lib/node_modules/%40stdlib/stats/base/dists/halfnormal/stdev in-order to streamline this PR!!

[shubham220420]

I took reference from halfnormal/stdev and followed the updated code structure @Neerajpathak07 , Looking forward for a review

[shubham220420]

I've added the suggestions to the branch @Neerajpathak07.

[Neerajpathak07]

Overall the PR is shaping up a last few comments!!!

[Neerajpathak07]

@shubham220420 This PR is steadily streamlining. A few points to look after:-

• Pls make sure that the entire descriptions are written in a single line and also are consistent with markdown documentation.
• To generate the fixtures for halfnormal/mgf you'll have to shift to scipy.

[shubham220420]

I have applied the changes,
one thing, while changing the fixtures generation from julia to python(Scipy) there is no straight method to generate mgf for halfnormal dist in SciPy therefore manually formula was used in script.
If any change is required I'll work on it @Neerajpathak07.

[shubham220420]

hey sir @Neerajpathak07 can you review the changes whenever possible
