sphere.runif: Generate Uniform Samples on Sphere

Description

It generates \(n\) random samples from \(\mathcal{S}^{p-1}\). For convenient usage of users, we provide a number of options in terms of the return type.

Usage

sphere.runif(n, p, type = c("list", "matrix", "riemdata"))

Arguments

n

number of samples to be generated.

p

original dimension (of the ambient space).

type

return type;

"list"

a length-\(n\) list of length-\(p\) vectors.

"matrix"

a \((n\times p)\) where rows are unit vectors.

"riemdata"

a S3 object. See wrap.sphere for more details (Default).

Value

an object from one of the above by type option.
