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, the FKML (Freimer et
        al 1988), RS (Ramberg and Schmeiser 1974), GPD (van Staden and
        Loots 2009) and FM5 - 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 type. These include maximum
        likelihood, maximum product of spacings, Titterington's method,
        Moments, Trimmed L-Moments and Distributional Least Absolutes.
