/* The Dirichlet probability distribution of order K-1 is 

     p(\theta_1,...,\theta_K) d\theta_1 ... d\theta_K = 
        (1/Z) \prod_i=1,K \theta_i^{alpha_i - 1} \delta(1 -\sum_i=1,K \theta_i)

   The normalization factor Z can be expressed in terms of gamma functions:

      Z = {\prod_i=1,K \Gamma(\alpha_i)} / {\Gamma( \sum_i=1,K \alpha_i)}  

   The K constants, \alpha_1,...,\alpha_K, must be positive. The K parameters, 
   \theta_1,...,\theta_K are nonnegative and sum to 1.

   The random variates are generated by sampling K values from gamma
   distributions with parameters a=\alpha_i, b=1, and renormalizing. 
   See A.M. Law, W.D. Kelton, Simulation Modeling and Analysis (1991).
