function r =  circ_dist2(x,y)
%
% r = circ_dist2(alpha, beta)
%   All pairwise difference x_i-y_j around the circle computed efficiently.
%
%   Input:
%     alpha       sample of linear random variable
%     beta       sample of linear random variable
%
%   Output:
%     r       matrix with pairwise differences
