Description: This package implements a novel method for fitting a
        bounded probability distribution to quantiles (for example
        stated by an expert), see Bornkamp and Ickstadt (2009) for
        details.  For this purpose B-splines are used, and the density
        is obtained by penalized least squares based on a Brier entropy
        penalty.  The package provides methods for fitting the
        distribution as well as methods for evaluating the underlying
        density and cdf. In addition methods for plotting the
        distribution, drawing random numbers and calculating quantiles
        of the obtained distribution are provided.
