Description: Provides probability mass, distribution, quantile,
        random-variate generation, and method-of-moments
        parameter-estimation functions for the Delaporte distribution
        with parameterization based on Vose (2008)
        <isbn:9780470512845>. The Delaporte is a discrete probability
        distribution which can be considered the convolution of a
        negative binomial distribution with a Poisson distribution.
        Alternatively, it can be considered a counting distribution
        with both Poisson and negative binomial components. It has been
        studied in actuarial science as a frequency distribution which
        has more variability than the Poisson, but less than the
        negative binomial.
