Package "hse" has been REPLACED by package "dbd".

A reviewer of a paper that I wrote, of which the "hse" package was
a central consideration, thought that users might find the name "hse"
("hope springs eternal") to be indicative of a lack of seriousness.

Consequently I have changed the name of the package to "dbd"
("discretised beta distribution").  The underlying distribution, on
which the package is focussed, is now called "db" ("discretised beta").

The "hse" package still exists, *only* in order to produce a message
(when the package is loaded) to the effect that the package is
deprecated and that users should install and utilse the dbd package
instead.

The dbd package includes a number of modifications which (it is to be
hoped) make it an improvement over the hse package that it replaces.

I would be grateful to anyone who points out any problems with or
errors in the dbd package.

cheers,

Rolf Turner

Previously, I disliked some of R's names.
e.g. Action of the Toes.
But then later realized toes are really important.

I don't want to disagree with a 'reviewer'.
But I would say subtle references to literature and philosophy
demonstrate 'depth'.

Was your reviewer a member of the (A)merican (S)tatistical
(S)ociety...? Who came up with that name...?

It's all subjective really...
