We would like to announce the availability on CRAN of a new package distr .
It is to provide a conceptual treatment of random variables (r.v.'s) by
means of
S4--classes. A virtual mother class "Distribution" is introduced.
All distributions of the "base" package are implemented as subclasses
of
either "AbscontDistribution" or "DiscreteDistribution".
Using these classes, we also provide (default) methods to automatically
generate the image distributions under unary mathematical operations as
well as a general convolution algorithm.
Additionally, we also provide classes for a standardized treatment of
simulations (also under contaminations) and evaluations of statistical
procedures on such simulations.
