Real normalized Dirichlet measure on the standard simplex #
The multivariate Dirichlet measure [KBJ00, Ch 49] is defined on the standard simplex in
symmetric variables, i.e. Convexity.StdSimplex.coordinateSet ℝ ι, or $E^{k-1}$ embedded in $ℝ^k$
where
k = card ι.
This file constructs the density and the probability measure, and records permutation
invariance and vector-valued integration against the density. The real monomial integral
theory is in Dirichlet.Integral.Real; moments, aggregation, and the beta marginal are in
Dirichlet.Moments. No complex Dirichlet integral or parameter continuation is imported.
The construction uses the standard-simplex coordinate measure and integral API exported by
StdSimplexMeasure.Measure and StdSimplexMeasure.Integral. The coordinate constructions are
provided transitively by StdSimplexMeasure.Coordinates.

The case of all b parameters equal to 1 reduces to scaled Lebesgue measure.
Simultaneously permuting the parameters and coordinates leaves the Dirichlet density unchanged.
Permuting coordinates together with parameters is a measure-preserving transformation of
dirichletMeasure.
A complex-valued integral against a real Dirichlet measure can be written using its real density and the standard-simplex measure.
