\arguments{
\item{type}{Can be any of the names from base R's
\link[stats:Distributions]{Distributions}, like \code{"cauchy"}, \code{"pois"} or \code{"beta"}.}

\item{...}{Arguments passed to or from other methods.}

\item{n}{the number of observations}

\item{random}{Generate near-perfect or random (simple wrappers for the base R
\verb{r*} functions) distributions. When \code{random = FALSE}, these function return
\verb{q*(ppoints(n), ...)}.}

\item{shape1, shape2}{non-negative parameters of the Beta distribution.}

\item{ncp}{non-centrality parameter.}

\item{size}{number of trials (zero or more).}

\item{prob}{probability of success on each trial.}

\item{location, scale}{location and scale parameters.}

\item{df}{degrees of freedom (non-negative, but can be non-integer).}

\item{shape}{Shape parameter.}

\item{mean}{vector of means.}

\item{sd}{vector of standard deviations.}

\item{mu}{the mean}

\item{phi}{Corresponding to \code{glmmTMB}'s implementation of nbinom
distribution, where \code{size=mu/phi}.}

\item{lambda}{vector of (non-negative) means.}

\item{xi}{For tweedie distributions, the value of \code{xi} such that the variance
is \code{var(Y) = phi * mu^xi}.}

\item{power}{Alias for \code{xi}.}

\item{min, max}{lower and upper limits of the distribution.  Must be finite.}
}
\description{
Generate a sequence of n-quantiles, i.e., a sample of size \code{n} with a
near-perfect distribution.
