+A wrapper around analyzers that augments the input with `n` samples of additive noise sampled from a scalar `distribution`.
 This input augmentation is then averaged to return an `Explanation`.
+
+Defaults to the normal distribution `Normal(0, std^2)` with `std=1.0f0`.
+For optimal results, $REF_SMILKOV_SMOOTHGRAD recommends setting `std` between 10% and 20% of the input range of each sample,
+e.g. `std = 0.1 * (maximum(input) - minimum(input))`.

+## Keyword arguments
+- `rng::AbstractRNG`: Specify the random number generator that is used to sample noise from the `distribution`.
