CircleDistribution

Description

This class models the circle distribution with a specified radius. This is the marginal distribution when a pair of random variables has the uniform distribution on a circular region centered at the origin, with the given radius. The class has methods for getting and setting the radius parameter and for computing the probability density function. The class inherits methods from the parent Distribution class for computing the mean, variance, moments, distribution function, quantile function, generating function, and simulated value. Some of these methods are overridden to implement closed formulas or better algorithms. This object is used in the bivariate uniform experiment.
