In rvMF: Fast Generation of von Mises-Fisher Distributed Pseudo-Random Vectors

rvMF 0.1.1

• We do not import the 'scModels' R package anymore.

rvMF 0.1.0

• Typo fix in the document.
• A paper describing the implementation details of this package is published in Statistics and Computing. Description field is updated. Citation information is added as well.

rvMF 0.0.8

• Corrected the way of linking a C++ function.
• Minor typo fix in the document.
• Added ORCID ID.

rvMF 0.0.7

• Patch version, handling three additional issues checked by CRAN:

• clang-ASAN, gcc-ASAN: For the function 'rvMFangle', the case where kappa=0 was not handled in the previously submitted code. That is why the second example failed. However, I should note that 'rvMFangle' is wrapped by the function 'rvMF', and the case where kappa=0 is handled in the 'rvMF' function. That is, the function 'rvMFangle(...,..., kappa=0)' is never called by the 'rvMF' function. I revised the document, and clarified that the parameter 'kappa > 0' for the function 'rvMFangle'. I therefore replaced the previous example on the 'rvMFangle' function with kappa = 0.1. Versions 0.0.5--0.0.7 had lack of explanation on this issue.

• valgrind: As noted by the CRAN, the source of error was not freeing the malloced (or calloced) array. I now free them at the end of the function. I checked this with my linux + valgrind, and no error occurs anymore.
