It estimates the parameters of the Wood bimodal distribution.

 Wood distribution 

 Bimodal distribution on the sphere 

MLE of the Wood bimodal distribution on the sphere

A collection of functions for directional data (including massive data, with millions of observations) analysis.
Hypothesis testing, discriminant and regression analysis, MLE of distributions and more are included.
The standard textbook for such data is the "Directional Statistics" by Mardia, K. V. and Jupp, P. E. (2000).
