Contour plot of the Kent distribution without any data
Description
The contour plot of the Kent distribution on the sphere is produced. The user can see how the shape and ovalness change as he/she changes the ovlaness parameter.
Usage
kent.contour(k, b)
Arguments
k
The concentration parameter.
b
The ovalness parameter. It has to be less than k/2 in order for the distribution to be unimodal. Otherwise it is bimodal.
Details
The goal of this function is for the user to see hwo the Kent distribution looks like.
Value
A plot containing the contours of the distribution.
