[R] Gumbell distribution - minimum case

[Aaron Mackey]

If you mean you want an EVD with a fat left tail (instead of a fat
right tail), then can;t you just multiply all the values by -1 to
"reverse" the distribution?  A new location parameter could then shift
the distribution wherever you want along the number line ...
