Description: Density, distribution function, quantile function and random
    generation for the Skellam distribution, the distribution of the
    difference of two independent Poisson variables (Skellam, 1946), with
    saddlepoint approximations, maximum likelihood estimation, and a
    regression model in which both rates depend on covariates. The
    distribution functions remain accurate for very large rates and far
    into the tails, on the natural and the log scale.
