  Description     : 'Rcpp' Integration of Additional Probability Distributions
 The 'Rcpp' package provides a C++ library to make it easier
 to use C++ with R. R and 'Rcpp' provide functions for a variety of
 statistical distributions. Several R packages make functions
 available to R for additional statistical distributions. However,
 to access these functions from C++ code, a costly call to the R
 functions must be made. 'RcppDist' provides a header-only C++ library
 with functions for additional statistical distributions that can be
 called from C++ when writing code using 'Rcpp' or 'RcppArmadillo'.
 Functions are available that return a 'NumericVector' as well as
 doubles, and for multivariate or matrix distributions, 'Armadillo'
 vectors and matrices. 'RcppDist' provides functions for the following
 distributions: the four parameter beta distribution; the location-
 scale t distribution; the truncated normal distribution; the
 truncated t distribution; a truncated location-scale t distribution;
 the triangle distribution; the multivariate normal distribution*;
 the multivariate t distribution*; the Wishart distribution*; and
 the inverse Wishart distribution*. Distributions marked with an
 asterisk rely on 'RcppArmadillo'.
