von Mises Distribution
Catherine Scipione Forbes, Merran Evans, Nicholas Anthony John Hastings, Brian Peacock · 2010
The von Mises distribution can be regarded as the circular analogue of the normal distribution on the line. The distribution is unimodal, symmetric about a, and infinitely divisible. This chapter illustrates the probability density function for the von Mises variate with location parameter a = π and for selected values of the scale parameter, b. It discusses variate relationships and parameter estimation for the von Mises Distribution. Controlled Vocabulary Terms control variate; Cramér-von Mises test; probability density function; von Mises distribution
