Discussion of ssdtools software. He (sic) authors note that while it is possible to fit a single model, the emphasis in this package is on model averaging. The distributions available for this purpose are log-normal, log-logistic, and gamma by default and optionally Burr III, LogGumbel, and Gompertz. I have found the first four of these useful over many studies, the last two much less so. It is good that these distributions are available, as the original BurrliOZ software that offered Burr III and some others is no longer supported and the SSD Master which offers Gompertz among others, is deeply flawed.
