This mailing list is for questions about the R language.  It is not
for questions about statistical theory.  You might get some useful
information from stackexchange, but you will have to make your
question much clearer and much more explicit.  Give a reasonably
detailed example.  Do not expect your readers to be telepathic.

It is not at all clear to me that your question actually makes any
sense at all.

cheers,

I get is [[alternative HTML version deleted]
2) AIC is for comparing models where lower AIC indicates a better model, though
please see a statistics reference for additional details. No models were
presented.
3) Distributions have quantiles. Quantiles can be calculated from data. There is
no quantile distribution. It would not be possible to calculate quantiles from a
function that lacked other statistical attributes (mean, median, mode, variance,
etc...). I cannot interpret "distribution have only quantile
function."

Please clarify the question.
Tim
