CRAN v0.2.0

New features

Probability distributions

• Added dist_wrap() for wrapping distributions not yet added in the package.

Methods

• Added likelihood() for computing the likelihood of observing a sample from a
  distribution.
• Added skewness() for computing the skewness of a distribution.
• Added kurtosis() for computing the kurtosis of a distribution.
• The density(), cdf() and quantile() methods now accept a log argument
  which will use/return probabilities as log probabilities.

Improvements

• Improved documentation for most distributions to include equations for the
  region of support, summary statistics, density functions and moments. This is
  the work of @alexpghayes in the distributions3 package.
• Documentation improvements
• Added support for displaying distributions with View().
• hilo() intervals can no longer be added to other intervals, as this is a
  common mistake when aggregating forecasts.
• Incremented d for numDeriv::hessian() when computing mean and variance of
  transformed distributions.

Deprecated features

• Graphics functionality provided by autoplot.distribution() is now deprecated
  in favour of using the ggdist package. The ggdist package allows
  distributions produced by distributional to be used directly with ggplot2 as
  aesthetics.
