Directional (version 6.1)

Probability density function of the circular Purkayastha distribution: Probability density function of the circular Purkayastha distribution

Description

Probability density function of the circular Purkayastha distribution.

Usage

pcircpurka(u, m, a, rads = FALSE)

Value

The probability that of x being less than theta, where x follows the circular Purkayastha distribution.

Arguments

u

A numerical value, either in radians or in degrees.

m

The mean direction in radians or in degrees.

a

The \(\alpha\) parameter of the circular Purkayastha distribution.

rads

If the data are in radians, this should be TRUE and FALSE otherwise.
