+    (description
+     "Lambert W x F distributions are a generalized framework to analyze skewed,
+heavy-tailed data.  It is based on an input/output system, where the output
+random variable (RV) Y is a non-linearly transformed version of an input RV X
+~ F with similar properties as X, but slightly skewed (heavy-tailed).  The
+transformed RV Y has a Lambert W x F distribution.  This package contains
+functions to model and analyze skewed, heavy-tailed data the Lambert Way:
+simulate random samples, estimate parameters, compute quantiles, and plot/
+print results nicely.  The most useful function is @code{Gaussianize}, which
+works similarly to @code{scale}, but actually makes the data Gaussian.  A
+do-it-yourself toolkit allows users to define their own Lambert W x
+@code{MyFavoriteDistribution} and use it in their analysis right away.")
