#' rinform: An R wrapper of the Inform C library. 
#'
#' As for the Inform library, rinform is structured around the concepts of:
#' * discrete empirical probability distributions which form the basis for
#'   all of the information-theoretic measures,
#' * classic information-theoretic measures built upon empirical distributions,
#' * measures of information dynamics for time series.
#'
#' In addition to the core components, rinform also provides a small collection
#' of utilities to deal with time series.
#' 
#' If you are using rinform, consider citing the following articles:
