If :math:Z is Hyperbolic Secant distributed then :math:e^{Z} is
Half-Cauchy distributed. Also, if :math:W is (standard) Cauchy
distributed, then :math:\left|W\right| is Half-Cauchy distributed.
Special case of the Folded Cauchy distribution with :math:c=0.
The support is :math:x\geq0. The standard form is
.. math:: :nowrap:
\begin{eqnarray*} f\left(x\right) & = & \frac{2}{\pi\left(1+x^{2}\right)} \\
F\left(x\right) & = & \frac{2}{\pi}\arctan\left(x\right)\\
G\left(q\right) & = & \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2}q\right)\end{eqnarray*}

M\left(t\right)=\cos t+\frac{2}{\pi}\left[\mathrm{Si}\left(t\right)\cos t-\mathrm{Ci}\left(\mathrm{-}t\right)\sin t\right]
where :math:\mathrm{Si}(t)=\int_0^t \frac{\sin x}{x} dx, :math:\mathrm{Ci}(t)=-\int_t^\infty \frac{\cos x}{x} dx.

\begin{eqnarray*} m_{d} & = & 0\\
m_{n} & = & \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\end{eqnarray*}
No moments, as the integrals diverge.
