Description

The documentation would be better if functions and classes all had at least one example and possibly more. E.g., see the examples here:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.expon.html

There is a section devoted to examples. In the NumPy / SciPy docs, I find this section is often more useful than any other kind of documentation. I propose we push towards improving our documentation in this way.

Research direction

The issue does not name documentation files or a specific function, class, or entry point. Start by reviewing the project documentation and identifying public functions and classes that lack examples. Done means the agreed scope has example sections added consistently, with the documentation build or relevant examples checked.
