ripley.py vs distance_statistics.py duplication?

[martinfleis]

Hey,

I wanted to remove old deprecated classes Ripley's functions that are now in _deprecated_distance_statistics.py`.

While doing that, I noticed that the new implementation seems to live in distance_statistics.py but then we have nearly exactly the same code also in ripley.py.

distance_statistics.py has more complete docstrings and is included in API docs, while ripley.py has some additional utils.

Is it safe to remove ripley.py from the codebase? It is not tested (0% coverage) but it is used in the distance_statistics-numpy-oriented.ipynb notebook.

The distance_statistics.ipynb notebooks will also need to be updated to point to new functions from the deprecated classes.

@ljwolf I suppose you will know the answers. I thought that the contents of ripley.py has been moved to distance_statistics.py and never removed from the original location but there are more recent comments to ripley.py than to distance_statistics.py so I am a bit confused.

I noticed #105 now...
