+    LocationScale(μ,σ,ρ)
+
+A location-scale transformed distribution with location parameter `μ`,
+scale parameter `σ`, and given univariate distribution `ρ`.
+
+If ``Z`` is a random variable with distribution `ρ`, then the distribution of the random
+variable
+```math
+X = μ + σ Z
+```
+is the location-scale transformed distribution with location parameter `μ` and scale
+parameter `σ`.
+
+If `ρ` is a discrete distribution, the probability mass function of
+the transformed distribution is given by
+```math
+P(X = x) = P\\left(Z = \\frac{x-μ}{σ} \\right).
+```
+If `ρ` is a continuous distribution, the probability density function of
+the transformed distribution is given by
+```math
+f(x) = \\frac{1}{σ} ρ \\! \\left( \\frac{x-μ}{σ} \\right).
+```
+
+```julia
+LocationScale(μ,σ,ρ) # location-scale transformed distribution
+params(d)            # Get the parameters, i.e. (μ, σ, and the base distribution)
+location(d)          # Get the location parameter
+scale(d)             # Get the scale parameter
