    The families of distributions are: Benini distributions, Burr distributions, Dagum distributions, Feller-Pareto distributions, Generalized Pareto distributions, Inverse Pareto distributions, The Inverse Paralogistic distributions, Marshall-Olkin G distributions, exponentiated G distributions, beta G distributions, 
    gamma G distributions, Kumaraswamy G distributions, generalized beta G distributions, 
    beta extended G distributions, gamma G distributions, gamma uniform G distributions, beta exponential G distributions, Weibull G distributions, log gamma G I distributions, log gamma G II distributions, 
    exponentiated generalized G distributions, exponentiated Kumaraswamy G distributions, geometric exponential Poisson G distributions, truncated-exponential skew-symmetric G distributions, modified beta G distributions, 
    exponentiated exponential Poisson G distributions, Poisson-inverse gaussian distributions, Skew normal type 1 distributions, Skew student t distributions, Singh-Maddala distributions, Sinh-Arcsinh distributions, Sichel distributions, Zero inflated Poisson distributions.

All the methods in this package generate a vector of uniform order statistics using a beta distribution and use an inverse cumulative distribution function for some distribution to give a vector of random order statistic variables for some distribution. This is much more efficient than using a loop since it is directly sampling from the order statistic distribution.

In biomedical studies, researchers are often interested in assessing the association between one or more ordinal explanatory variables and an outcome variable, at the same time adjusting for covariates of any type. The outcome variable may be continuous, binary, or represent censored survival times. In the absence of a precise knowledge of the response function, using monotonicity constraints on the ordinal variables improves efficiency in estimating parameters, especially when sample sizes are small. This package implements an active set algorithm that efficiently computes such estimators.
