A set of distributions  which can be used  for modelling the response variables in Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape, Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2005), <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9876.2005.00510.x>.  The distributions can be continuous, discrete or mixed  distributions. Extra distributions can be created, by transforming, any continuous distribution defined on the real line,  to  a distribution defined on ranges 0 to infinity  or  0 to 1, by using a "log" or a "logit" transformation respectively.
