Greetings -
I'm hoping to compare contemporary coral colony size distributions with

looking at the documentation, it seems `prestondistr' returns you the
coefficients of the distribution, but not a random sample from that
distribution.
colony size is discrete, yes? so really you want to sample numbers 1, 2,

you could do that with something like:

The main one is Everything changes over time. This can probably be
derived from thermodynamic principles: entropy, and all that.
Here are some corollaries of this law:
