-----------------------------------

             Summary: getKernel fails for buckets with only multiple instances 
of the same value in random.EmpiricalDistribution
                 Key: MATH-1203
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1203
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.4.1, 3.4
            Reporter: Kyle Kavanagh


After loading a set of values into an EmpericalDistribution, assume that 
there's a case where a single bin ONLY contains multiple instances of the same 
value.  In this case the standard deviation will equal zero.  This will fail 
when getKernel attempts to create a NormalDistribution.  The other case where 
stddev=0 is when there is only a single value in the bin, and this is handled 
by returning a ConstantRealDistribution rather than a NormalDistrbution.
