     'distrTest' provides (S4-)classes for evaluating procedures
     (estimators/tests) at data/simulation in a unified way based on
     package 'distr'. This is achieved by means of the S4 class
     'Evaluation'. The package is based on our packages 'distr' and
     'distrSim', hence uses distribution classes  and simulation
     classes as introduced there to capture the situation from which
     the simulations stem.

     "Evaluation"
           slots: [<name>(<class>)]

           slots: [<name>(<class>)]

     Objects of class "Evaluation" are generated by a call to
     'evaluate'.

     All slots are inspected / modified by corresponding  accessors /
     -replacement functions, e.g. 'call.ev(X)'  or
     'filename(X)<-"myevaluation.sav"' for an object of class
     '"Evaluation"'.

_S_t_a_r_t-_u_p-_B_a_n_n_e_r:

     You may suppress the start-up banner/message completely by setting
     'options("StartupBanner"="off")' somewhere before loading this
     package by 'library' or 'require' in your R-code / R-session.

     If option '"StartupBanner"' is not defined (default) or setting   
      'options("StartupBanner"=NULL)' or 
     'options("StartupBanner"="complete")'  the complete start-up
     banner is displayed.

     For any other value of option '"StartupBanner"' (i.e., not in
     'c(NULL,"off","complete")') only the version information is
     displayed.

     The same can be achieved by wrapping the 'library' or 'require' 
     call into either 'suppressStartupMessages()' or
     'onlytypeStartupMessages(.,atypes="version")'. 

     As for general 'packageStartupMessage''s, you may also suppress
     all the start-up banner by wrapping the 'library' or 'require' 
     call into 'suppressPackageStartupMessages()' from 
     'startupmsg'-version 0.5 on.

_N_o_t_e:

     Global options controlling the plots and summaries of
     Evaluationlist objects may be inspected / set by
     'distrTEstoptions()'  and 'getdistrTEstOption()'.

     A vignette for packages 'distr', 'distrSim', 'distrTEst', and
     'distrEx'  is included into the mere documentation package
     'distrDoc' and may be called by 
     'require("distrDoc");vignette("distr")'.

     A homepage to this package is available under
      <URL:
