[R] Generalized Lambda

[Jan_Svatos@eurotel.cz]

Hi,
There is a

gld

package at CRAN,
described as "Basic functions for the generalised (Tukey) lambda
distribution "

May be it helps.

Subject: [R] Generalized Lambda

Anyone know of a package for numerically estimating lambda(3) and lambda(4)
using location, position, skew and kurtosis estimates.  I have a
distribution
and would like to use the gld package to do some simulations of the
distribution, but need the lambda estimates to feed into gld.

I have a program in Maple, which I may convert to C code for use in R, but
before moving down that road I wanted to make sure there wasn't a package
out
there somewhere.
