Create a cone distribution object as defined by Roberts and Rosenthal
make.cone.dist(ndim)
A scdist
object.
The dimension of the distribution's state space.
Defines a distribution object with the following log density:
$$\pi(x)=e^{-\|x\|}$$
This is used in Roberts and Rosenthal (2002) to demonstrate
the deterioration in slice sampler performance as dimensionality
increases. It is intended to be passed to
compare.samplers
. Its implementation also serves
as a simple demonstration of how to define a distribution in C.
