r_unif: Sample uniformly distributed circular and spherical data

In sphunif: Uniformity Tests on the Circle, Sphere, and Hypersphere

Sample uniformly distributed circular and spherical data

Description

Simulation of the uniform distribution on [0, 2\pi) and S^{p-1}:=\{{\bf x}\in R^p:||{\bf x}||=1\}, p\ge 2.

Usage

r_unif_cir(n, M = 1L, sorted = FALSE)

r_unif_sph(n, p, M = 1L)

Arguments

n	sample size.
M	number of samples of size n. Defaults to 1.
sorted	return each circular sample sorted? Defaults to FALSE.
p	integer giving the dimension of the ambient space R^p that contains S^{p-1}.

Value

• r_unif_cir: a matrix of size c(n, M) with M random samples of size n of uniformly-generated circular data on [0, 2\pi).

• r_unif_sph: an array of size c(n, p, M) with M random samples of size n of uniformly-generated directions on S^{p-1}.

Examples

# A sample on [0, 2*pi)
n <- 5
r_unif_cir(n = n)

# A sample on S^1
p <- 2
samp <- r_unif_sph(n = n, p = p)
samp
rowSums(samp^2)

# A sample on S^2
p <- 3
samp <- r_unif_sph(n = n, p = p)
samp
rowSums(samp^2)
