circular (version 0.3-1)

wrappedCauchy: Wrapped Cauchy Density Function

Description

Density, and random generation for the wrapped Cauchy circular distribution.

Usage

dwrappedcauchy(x, mu = 0, rho = exp(-1))
rwrappedcauchy(n, mu = 0, rho = exp(-1), units = c("radians", "degrees"), ...)

Arguments

x

a vector. The object is coerced to class circular.

n

number of observations.

mu

mean direction of the distribution.

rho

concentration parameter of the distribution. rho must be in the interval from 0 to 1.

units

units of measure desired.

...

parameters passed to circular.

Value

• dwrappedcauchy gives the density and rwrappedcauchy generates random deviates.
