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](https://github.com/JuliaStats/ConjugatePriors.jl).
