Description
            The goal of this toolbox is to provide accurate distribution functions. 
The provided functions are designed to be compatible with Matlab.

The goals of this toolbox are the following.
 * All functions are tested with tables (actually, csv datasets).
   The tests includes accuracy tests, so that the accuracy 
   should by from 13 to 15 significant digits.
 * For each distribution, we have 
   * the probability distribution function (PDF)
   * the cumulated distribution function (CDF)
   * the inverse CDF
   * the random number generator
   * the statistics (mean and variance)
 * The CDF provides the upper and the lower tail of the 
   distribution, for accuracy reasons. 
 * The uniform random numbers are of high quality.
   The default is to use the Mersenne-Twister generator.   
 * Each function has a consistent help page.
   This removes confusions in the meaning 
   of the parameters and clarifies the differences 
   with other computing languages (e.g. R).
   
The design is similar to Matlab's distribution functions. 
A significant difference with Matlab's function is that both 
the upper and lower tails are available in "distfun", while 
Matlab only provides the lower tail. 
Hence, "distfun" should provide a better accuracy when 
probabilities close to 1 are computed (e.g. p=0.9999). 

There are many interesting, positive, differences with Scilab, Stixbox, or other
tools. For a full set of motivations, please read :

Features
--------

For each distribution x, we provide five functions :
 * distfun_xcdf : x CDF
 * distfun_xinv : x Inverse CDF
 * distfun_xpdf : x PDF
 * distfun_xrnd : x random numbers
 * distfun_xstat : x mean and variance

Distributions available :
 * Beta (with x=beta)
 * Binomial (with x=bino)
 * Chi-Square (with x=chi2)
 * Exponential (with x=exp)
 * Extreme Value (with x=ev)
 * F (with x=f)
 * Gamma (with x=gam)
 * Geometric (with x=geo)
 * Hypergeometric (with x=hyge)
 * LogNormal (with x=logn)
 * LogUniform (with x=logu)
 * Normal (with x=norm)
 * Poisson (with x=poi)
 * T (with x=t)
 * Truncated Normal (with x=tnorm)
 * Uniform (with x=unif)

Tutorial
 * dispfun_tutorial : A tutorial of the Distfun toolbox.
 * dispfun_plots : A collection of distribution function plots.

Support
 * distfun_cov : Returns the empirical covariance matrix
 * distfun_erfcinv : Inverse erfc function
 * distfun_genericpdf : Compute the PDF from the CDF.
 * distfun_getpath : Returns path of current module
 * distfun_inthisto : Discrete histogram
 * distfun_plotintcdf -  Plots an integer CDF

Random Number Generator
 * rng_overview : An overview of the Random Number Generators of the Distfun
toolbox.
 * distfun_genget : Get the current random number generator
 * distfun_genset : Set the current random number generator
 * distfun_seedget : Get the current state of the current random number
generator
 * distfun_seedset : Set the current state of the current random number
generator
 * distfun_streamget : Get the current stream
 * distfun_streaminit : Initializes the current stream
 * distfun_streamset : Set the current stream

Here is a test of distfun v0.7 on Windows 64 bits with Scilab 5.4.0 32 bits.
All tests pass, but Scilab must be in English language (if not, some tests fail).

-->atomsInstall("distfun")
 ans  =
 
!distfun  0.7-1  user  SCIHOME\atoms\distfun\0.7-1  I  !
 
-->atomsLoad("distfun")

Start Distfun
	Load macros
	Load gateways
	Load help
	Load demos
	Type "demo_gui()" and search for Distfun for Demonstrations.

 ans  =
 
!distfun  0.7-1  user  SCIHOME\atoms\distfun\0.7-1  !
