A subtantial body of statistical research provides foundation for the theory of L-moments and demonstration of L-moment theory in practice exists. Whereas, in many ways, J.R.M. Hosking should be considered the father of L-moments, there are indeed many contributors to L-moment literature. E.A.H. Elamir and A.H. Seheult in 2003 introduced the concept of trimmed L-moments and further, R. Serfling and P. Xiao in 2006 have taken up the reigns of multivariate L-moments. A substantial sampling is provided in the documentation of this package for the benefit of users.
