The Generalized Lambda distribution has quantile function
\[f(x)=\lambda_1 +(p^{\lambda_3} - (1-p)^{\lambda_4})/\lambda_2\]Function
dgld()
gives the density,
dgld.p()
gives the density in terms of the quantile,
pgld()
gives the distribution function,
qgld()
gives the quantile function, and
rgld()
generates random deviates.
