PairCorrelationEstimator()

PairCorrelationEstimator::PairCorrelationEstimator	(	const Path &	_path,
		ActionBase *	_actionPtr,
		const MTRand &	_random,
		double	_maxR,
		int	_frequency = 1,
		string	_label = "pair"
	)

Constructor.

For the pair correlation function, we measure NPCFSEP positions to get high enough data density to observe possible osscilations. The normalization depends on dimension.
