Delaporte is an R
package which provides the probability mass, distribution, quantile, random variate generation, and method of moments parameter estimation functions for the Delaporte distribution. As the distribution does not have a closed form but requires summations or double summations to calculate values, the functions have been programmed in C++ using the Rcpp package. In cases where approximations are sufficient, the quantile and random variate generator have the option to use a much faster Poisson-negative binomial estimate as opposed to the full Delaporte double summations.
