+broad range of scientific disciplines from mathematics to ecology.  The aim of
+this package is to provide a core framework for clustering, classification,
+statistical inference, goodness-of-fit, non-parametric statistics, information
+theory, and machine learning tasks that are based on comparing univariate or
+multivariate probability functions.")
