Utility functions useful for all distributions in packages following the standard approach developed in Scott, Wuertz and Dong.
Functionality includes sample skewness and kurtosis, log-histogram, tail plots, moments by integration, changing the point about which a moment is calculated, functions for testing distributions using inversion tests and the Massart inequality. Also includes an implementation of the incomplete Bessel K function.
