Multivariate Cauchy Distribution

The Cauchy distribution is a special case of the t distribution when the degrees of freedom are equal to 1. The functions are related to the multivariate Cauchy distribution and include simulation, computation of the density, maximum likelihood estimation, contour plot of the bivariate Cauchy distribution, and discriminant analysis.
