  <dc:description>Functions for fitting the Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape introduced by Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2005), &lt;doi:10.1111/j.1467-9876.2005.00510.x&gt;. The models use a distributional regression approach where all the parameters of the conditional distribution of the response variable are modelled using explanatory variables.</dc:description>
