[Math] "getDimensions" in MultivariateRealDistribution interface
Hello.
There is a "getDimensions" method in "AbstractMultivariateRealDistribution"
that returns the number of variables.
It would be useful to have this method declared in the interface too. [In
particular, this would allow the mixture model generic class (cf. MATH-816)
to be defined in terms of the interface instead of the abstract class.]
Should I open a new JIRA issue for this or can I refer to the issue
(MATH-815) that led to the initial commit of this code?
Any better name than "getDimensions" for this functionality?
Regards,
Gilles

I might slightly favor "getDimension" as the name, though.
