wrappedcauchy: Wrapped Cauchy Density Function

In circular: Circular Statistics

Wrapped Cauchy Density Function

Description

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

Usage

dwrappedcauchy(x, mu = circular(0), rho = exp(-1))
rwrappedcauchy(n, mu = circular(0), rho = exp(-1), control.circular=list())

Arguments

x	a vector. The object is coerced to class circular.
n	number of observations.
mu	mean direction of the distribution as a circular object.
rho	concentration parameter of the distribution. rho must be in the interval from 0 to 1.
control.circular	the attribute of the resulting object.

Value

dwrappedcauchy gives the density and rwrappedcauchy generates random deviates.
