Kahan summation algorithm for class distribution #3

@morinim

Description

@morinim

Kahan summation algorithm significantly reduces the numerical error in the total obtained by adding a sequence of finite precision floating point numbers, compared to the obvious approach. This is done by keeping a separate running compensation (a variable to accumulate small errors).

This could be a good integration for distribution class.
