dvmf: Density of some (hyper-)spherical distributions

In Directional: A Collection of Functions for Directional Data Analysis

Density of some (hyper-)spherical distributions

Description

Density of some (hyper-)spherical distributions.

Usage

dvmf(y, mu, k, logden = FALSE )
iagd(y, mu, logden = FALSE)
dpurka(y, theta, a, logden = FALSE)
dspcauchy(y, mu, rho, logden = FALSE)
dpkbd(y, mu, rho, logden = FALSE)

Arguments

y	A matrix or a vector with the data expressed in Euclidean coordinates, i.e. unit vectors.
mu	The mean direction (unit vector) of the von Mises-Fisher, the IAG, the spherical Cauchy distribution, or of the Poisson kernel based distribution.
theta	The mean direction (unit vector) of the Purkayastha distribution.
k	The concentration parameter of the von Mises-Fisher distribution.
a	The concentration parameter of the Purkayastha distribution.
rho	The \rho parameter of the spherical Cauchy distribution, or of the Poisson kernel based distribution.
logden	If you the logarithm of the density values set this to TRUE.

Details

The density of the von Mises-Fisher, of the IAG, of the Purkayastha, of the spherical Cauchy distribution, or of the Poisson kernel based distribution is computed.

Value

A vector with the (log) density values of y.
