This is a matrix object used in the construction of family.rsm 
  objects.  It is of mode list, and has dimension c(3,5).  
  The 5 columns in
rsm.distributions[[functionName, familyName]]
represent the distributions student (Student's t),
  logistic, logWeibull, extreme (Gumbel 
  or extreme value) and Huber (Huber's least favourable).  
  The rows g0, g1 and g2 contain functions that
  define minus the corresponding log density and its first and second
  derivatives.  They take a single argument for the families
  logistic, logWeibull and extreme, while for the
  families student and Huber they have a further
  argument, respectively df and k, which denote the
  degrees of freedom and the tuning constant.
This object is used by the functions make.family.rsm and,
  indirectly, by rsm when constructing a family.rsm
  object.  See the documentation of family.rsm.object
  and make.family.rsm for additional details.
