New Families of Wrapped Distributions for Modeling Skew Circular Data
S. Rao Jammalamadaka, Tomasz J. Kozubowski · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 2004
We discuss circular distributions obtained by wrapping the classical exponential and Laplace distributions on the real line around the circle. We present explicit forms for their densities and distribution functions, as well as their trigonometric moments and related parameters, and discuss main properties of these laws. Both distributions are very promising as models for asymmetric directional data.
