A Julia package for probability distributions and associated functions. Particularly, Distributions implements:

• Moments (e.g mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis), entropy, and other properties
• Probability density/mass functions (pdf) and their logarithm (logpdf)
• Moment generating functions and characteristic functions
• Sampling from population or from a distribution
• Maximum likelihood estimation

Note: The functionalities related to conjugate priors have been moved to the ConjugatePriors package.
