-\begin{abstract}
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-In this vignette, we give short examples how to produce new
-distributions in packages \pkg{distr} and \pkg{distrEx}.
-This vignette refers to package version~\pkgversion.
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-\end{abstract}
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Basically there are three ways to produce new
-distributions in packages \pkg{distr} and \pkg{distrEx}:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item automatic generation of single distribution objects by arithmetics and the like
-\item using generating functions to produce single distribution objects
-\item defining new distribution classes / doing it from scratch
-\end{enumerate}
-We will give short examples of all three of them.
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-\section{Automatic generation by arithmetics and the like}
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-We have made available quite general arithmetical operations to our distribution 
-objects, generating new image distribution objects automatically. As an example, try
-<<Prepa, echo=false, results=tex>>=
-## preparation: set option withSweave to true
-require(distr)
-distroptions(withSweave = TRUE)
-options(width=70)
-@
-%
-<<exam1, eval = TRUE, fig = TRUE>>=
-require(distr)
-N <- Norm(mean = 2, sd = 1.3)
-P <- Pois(lambda = 1.2)
-Z <- 2*N + 3 + P
-Z
-plot(Z, panel.first = grid(), lwd=2)
-p(Z)(0.4)
-q(Z)(0.3)
-Zs <- r(Z)(50)
-Zs
-@
-\par
-\noindent{\bf Comment:}\\
-Let \code{N} an object of class \code{"Norm"} with parameters  \code{mean=2},
-\code{sd=1.3} and let \code{P}  an object of class \code{"Pois"} with parameter 
-\code{lambda=1.2}. Assigning to \code{Z} the expression \code{2*N+3+P}, a 
-new distribution object is generated ---of class \code{"AbscontDistribution"} in 
-our case--- so that identifying \code{N}, \code{P}, \code{Z} with random 
-variables distributed according to {\tt N}, {\tt P}, {\tt Z}, 
-${\cal L}({\tt Z})={\cal L}(2*{\tt N}+3+{\tt P})$,  and writing \code{p(Z)(0.4)}  
-we get $P(Z\leq 0.4)$, \code{ q(Z)(0.3)}  the $30\%$-quantile of {\tt Z},
-and with \code{r(Z)(50)} we generate $50$ pseudo random numbers distributed 
-according to {\tt Z}, while the \code{plot} command generates the above figure.\\
-
-There a caveats to take care about; for details refer to the (larger) vignette
-{\tt distr} in package \pkg{distrDoc}.
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-\section{Using generating functions}
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-If you want to generate a single distribution object (without any particular parameter)
-generating functions are the method of choice:\\
-
-
-Objects of classes \code{LatticeDistribution} resp.\ 
-\code{DiscreteDistribution}, 
-\code{AbscontDistribution},  may be generated using the generating functions
-\code{LatticeDistribution()} resp.\ \code{DiscreteDistribution()}
-resp.\ \code{AbscontDistribution()}; see also
-the corresponding help.\\
-
-E.g., to produce a discrete distribution with
-support $(1,5,7,21)$ with corresponding probabilities $(0.1,0.1,0.6,0.2)$
-we may write
-<<DiscrDist, eval = TRUE, fig = TRUE>>=
-D <- DiscreteDistribution(supp = c(1,5,7,21), prob = c(0.1,0.1,0.6,0.2))
-D
-plot(D, panel.first = grid(), lwd = 2)
-@
-%
-\newline
-and to generate an absolutely continuos distribution with density proportional
-to $e^{-|x|^3}$, we write
-<<AbscDist, eval = TRUE, fig = TRUE>>=
-AC <- AbscontDistribution(d = function(x) exp(-abs(x)^3), withStand = TRUE)
-AC
-plot(AC, panel.first = grid(), lwd = 2)
-@

-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-\section{Doing it from scratch}
-% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-If you would like to create new parametric distributions, using already 
-implemented {\tt r}, {\tt d}, {\tt p}, and {\tt q} functions
-(e.g.\ implementing additional distributions realized in another 
-\href{https://cran.r-project.org}{\tt CRAN} package),
-you should probably envisage introducing new distribution {\tt S4} (sub-)classes
-and hence better look at the implementation of some discrete and 
-continuous parametric distribution classes in package \pkg{distr}.
-
-\noindent{\small Hint: download the {\tt .tar.gz} file; extract it to some {\tt temp} 
-folder; look at subdirectories {\tt R} and {\tt man}}\smallskip\\
-
-The general procedure is as follows
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item introduce a  new subclass of  class \code{Parameter}
-\item introduce a new subclass of  \code{LatticeDistribution}/%
-\code{DiscreteDistribution} (if discrete)
- or of class \code{AbscontDistribution} (if continuous).
-\item define accessor and replacement functions for the ``slots'' of the
-parameter (e.g.\ \code{"size"} and \code{"prob"} in the binomial case), 
-possibly with new generics
-\item (possibly) define a validity function
-\item define a generating function
-\item if existing, define particular convolution methods or similar particular
-methods for this new distribution class
-\item create {\tt .Rd} files for the
-\begin{itemize}
-      \item parameter class
-      \item distribution class
-\end{itemize}
-\item if analytic expressions are available, define particular \code{E}-, \code{var}-, 
-\code{skewness}-, and \code{kurtosis}-methods
-     and if so, also document\footnote{%
-%
-this is new, because so far, all \code{E}-, \code{var}-, 
-\code{skewness}-, and \code{kurtosis}-methods for ``basic'' 
-distributions are documented in the \pkg{distrEx} documentation to 
-\code{E}, \code{var}, \ldots, but this would not be operational
-any longer for new derived classes, possibly defined in other, new packages
-%
-     } the corresponding methods in
-     the distribution class {\tt .Rd} file\\
-\end{enumerate}
-

-  \item[Comment] In the classes in package \pkg{distr} (historically the ``oldest''
-  in the development of this project), we still use \code{initialize} methods;
-  this is no longer needed, if you provide generating functions; for this ``more
-  recent'' approach, confer the realization of class \code{Gumbel} in package \pkg{distrEx}.
