ExtDist-package: Extended Probability Distribution Functions

In ExtDist: Extending the Range of Functions for Probability Distributions

Extended Probability Distribution Functions

Description

The package provides a consistent, unified and extensible framework for parameter estimation of probability distributions; it extends parameter estimation procedures to allow for weighted samples; moreover, it extends the gallery of available distributions.
