  • Spelling: ~55 typos found with codespell (e.g. paramters, occured, Inital, usefull, intepret, simulataneously).
  • Grammar: repeated words ("the the", "on on"), a/an ("an pytorch", "a estimate", "an single"), and a few slips ("should be have", "sampling form the joint", "We support on of").
  • Tutorials/docs: 43 typos in 17 files (e.g. "instatiate", "youself" in Getting Started); notebook outputs untouched. Left as-is: BibTeX author names and the deliberate "strucured" example in 27_estimator_configs.

Also fixes ~35 less common typos found with a dictionary check .

Left unchanged on purpose: parms (variable name), "ND Gaussian" (N-dimensional), and the deliberately misspelled "indepedent" example in estimator_configs.py.

Explanation

The title "docs: fix typos and grammar in comments, docstrings and tutorials" matches the main change. The raw summary and PR objectives show spelling and grammar fixes in docstrings, comments, and tutorial notebooks across the sbi codebase. The conventional "docs:" prefix fits the change, which touches no executable behavior.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the scope and method of the change. It lists the codespell and dictionary-based typo fixes, grammar fixes (repeated words, a/an, verb slips), and the tutorial and documentation corrections. It also names the items deliberately left unchanged. It does not fill in the template sections, so the "What does this PR do?" framing, "Does this close any issues?" (no issue link), "Anything else we should know?", and the checklist are absent. The checklist items matter here: the change touches docstrings and notebooks, so the checklist should at least show whether the test and pre-commit steps were run. The description also does not state whether AI assistance was used, which the template asks for. The raw summary shows only documentation and comment changes, so the missing items are administrative rather than technical.

Resolution

Add the template sections that are missing. (1) Under "What does this PR do?", use the template's framing: a short statement that the PR fixes spelling and grammar in comments, docstrings, and docs only, with no behavior change. (2) Under "Does this close any issues?", state that no issue is linked, or link one. (3) Under "Anything else we should know?", state whether any AI assistant was used. Also mention the failing test the PR objectives describe, and whether it was rerun. (4) Complete the checklist. Mark each item that applies, and state the results of the pytest, pre-commit, and pyright commands, or explain why a command was not run. Confirm that no tests were added or changed, since the template item asks about tests for changed behavior.

the string ending in “as” includes a trailing space before the next string
begins with “the,” producing the intended readable message.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Description check:
Rewrite the description to follow the repository template. Add the 'What does
this PR do?' section with a short summary. Add the 'Does this close any issues?'
section and state that no issue is linked, or link one. Add the 'Anything else
we should know?' section, for example to note the intentional exceptions and the
test rerun request. Complete the checklist and mark the items that apply, such
as the pre-commit check and the contributing guide. Also note whether AI tools
were used, because the template asks for that disclosure.
