rsespc: Simulation of random values from the SESPC distribution

In Directional: A Collection of Functions for Directional Data Analysis

Simulation of random values from the SESPC distribution

Description

Simulation of random values from the SESPC distribution

Usage

rsespc(n, mu, theta)

Arguments

n	A number; how many vectors you want to generate.
mu	The mean vector the SESPC distribution, a vector in R^3.
theta	The two \theta parameters of the SESPC distribution.

Details

A random sample from the SESPC distribution is generated. In case the \theta_s are zero, the sample is drawn from the SIPC (spherical independent projected Cauchy) distribution.

Value

An n \times 3 matrix with the simulated unit vectors.
