| \title{Distributions in the stats package} |
| \description{ |
| Density, cumulative distribution function, quantile function and random |
| variate generation for many standard probability distributions are |
| available in the \pkg{stats} package. |
| } |
| \details{ |
| The functions for the density/mass function, cumulative distribution |
| function, quantile function and random variate generation are named in the |
| form \code{dxxx}, \code{pxxx}, \code{qxxx} and \code{rxxx} respectively. |
