Description: The  generalised lambda distribution, or Tukey lambda distribution, provides a wide variety of shapes with one functional form.   
  This package provides random numbers, quantiles, probabilities, densities and density quantiles for four different types of the distribution;
  see documentation for details.
  It provides the density function, distribution function, and Quantile-Quantile plots.  
  It implements a variety of estimation methods for the distribution, including diagnostic plots. 
  Estimation methods include the starship (all 4 types), 
  method of L-Moments for the GPD and FKML types, and a number of methods for only the FKML parameterisation.  
  These include maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacings, Titterington's method, Moments, Trimmed L-Moments and Distributional Least Absolutes.
