| Distributions are objects, which are constructed from whatever parameters |
| the distribution may have. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Member functions allow you to retrieve the parameters of a distribution. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Generic non-member functions provide access to the properties that |
| are common to all the distributions (PDF, CDF, quantile etc). |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Complements of probabilities are calculated by wrapping the function's |
| arguments in a call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(...)</span></code>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Functions that accept a probability can accept a complement of the |
| probability as well, by wrapping the function's arguments in a call |
| to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(...)</span></code>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Static member functions allow the parameters of a distribution to |
| be found from other information. |
| </li> |

| Now that you have the basics, the next section looks at some worked examples. |
