The Asymmetric Laplace Distribution R package ald version 1.3.1 CRAN Task View: Distributions (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Distributions) It provides the density, distribution function, quantile function, random number generator, likelihood function, moments and Maximum Likelihood estimators for a given sample, all this for the three parameter Asymmetric Laplace Distribution defined in Koenker and Machado (1999). This is a special case of the skewed family of distributions available in Galarza et.al. (2017) <doi:10.1002/sta4.140> useful for quantile regression. Software Christian E.
