In distr6: The Complete R6 Probability Distributions Interface

#' distr6: Object Oriented Distributions in R
#'
#' distr6 is an object oriented (OO) interface, primarily used for interacting with probability
#' distributions in R. Additionally distr6 includes functionality for composite distributions,
#' a symbolic representation for mathematical sets and intervals, basic methods for common kernels
#' and numeric methods for distribution analysis. distr6 is the official R6 upgrade to the distr
#' family of packages.
#'
#' The main features of distr6 are:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item Currently implements 45 probability distributions (and 11 Kernels) including all
#' distributions in the R stats package. Each distribution has (where possible) closed form analytic
#' expressions for basic statistical methods.
#' \item Decorators that add further functionality to probability distributions including numeric
#' results for useful modelling functions such as p-norms and k-moments.
#' \item Wrappers for composite distributions including convolutions, truncation, mixture
#' distributions and product distributions.
