dJp: Jones and Pewsey (2005)'s circular distribution

Description

Computes the circular density of Jones and Pewsey (2005).

Usage

dJp(x, mu, kappa, psi, const = NULL)
constJp(mu, kappa, psi, M = 200)

Value

A vector of the same length as x containing the density.

Arguments

x

evaluation angles, not necessary in \([\pi,\pi)\).

mu

circular mean.

kappa

non-negative concentration parameter.

psi

shape parameter, see details.

const

normalizing constant, computed with constJp if not provided.

M

grid size for computing the normalizing constant by numerical integration.

Details

Particular interesting choices for the shape parameter are:

• psi = -1: gives the Wrapped Cauchy as stationary density.

• psi = 0: is the sinusoidal drift of the vM diffusion.

• psi = 1: gives the Cardioid as stationary density.
