# Reference books on uniform spherical distributions in multiple dimensions [duplicate]

QUESTION

What is a citation of a book whose scope includes the uniform distribution [1] that is generalized to an $$n$$-ball [2]?

Among other things, I'd like to read a book that include such information as the distribution's parameters, its support, its probability density function, and its moment generating function.

Answers to this question may be useful to other users as well (cf., [3]).

Bibliography

• Please explain what generalizations you have in mind: would it be to balls, spheres, tori, general products of such, or what? What kind of information should this book be providing about these distributions? Why do you mention the vM-F distribution, which is not uniform--does that indicate you mean something besides having a constant density? – whuber Aug 19 at 21:13
• Re the edit: thank you for making your question more precise. There's little to say about the density, support, or parameters that isn't trivial (the post on the math site indicates as much), so at best you can hope to find some mention of these in passing within a larger context; but the questions of its moment generating function, characteristic function, and cumulant generating function require some calculation: why not just ask for that information directly? – whuber Aug 20 at 10:55
