<p>Octave has functions for computing the Probability Density Function (PDF), the
Cumulative Distribution function (CDF), and the quantile (the inverse of the
CDF) for arbitrary user-defined distributions (discrete) and for experimental
data (empirical).
</p>
<p>The following table summarizes the supported distributions (in alphabetical
order).
