Notes

The probability density function for rdist is:

f (x, c) = \frac{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{c /2 - 1}}{B ( 1/2 , c /2 )}

for $- 1 \leq x \leq 1$ , $c > 0$ . rdist is also called the symmetric beta distribution: if B has a beta distribution with parameters (c/2, c/2), then X = 2*B - 1 follows a R-distribution with parameter c.

rdist takes c as a shape parameter for $c$ .

This distribution includes the following distribution kernels as special cases

c = 2:  uniform
c = 3:  `semicircular`
c = 4:  Epanechnikov (parabolic)
c = 6:  quartic (biweight)
c = 8:  triweight
