_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Used for DS on non-Gaussian data. Tailored for the use with daily
     precipitation. `dist2norm' transforms (maps) data to normal
     distribution and `norm2dist' carries out the reverse operation.
     The mapping/transformation is done through one-to-one matching of
     the empirical distribution functions (e.d.f.) of the data and a
     Gaussian distribution.

_U_s_a_g_e:

       dist2norm(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)
       norm2dist(x,plot=FALSE,exclude=NULL,sd=1,mean=0,force.zero=TRUE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: vector.

    plot: T -> plot for illustrating the mapping.

 exclude: Values (e.g. 0) to exclude for the transform.

      sd: The standard deviation of the transformed quantities.

    mean: The mean value of the transformed quantities.

force.zero: Force the e.d.f. to start from 0.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a list object of class 'dist2norm' containing a vector and the
     empirical transform functions.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):
