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

Description

Implementation of uniformity tests on the circle and (hyper)sphere. The main function of the package is unif_test, which conveniently collects more than 35 tests for assessing uniformity on S^{p-1}=\{{\bf x}\in R^p:||{\bf x}||=1\}, p\ge 2. The test statistics are implemented in the unif_stat function, which allows computing several statistics for different samples within a single call, thus facilitating Monte Carlo experiments. Furthermore, the unif_stat_MC function allows parallelizing them in a simple way. The asymptotic null distributions of the statistics are available through the function unif_stat_distr. The core of sphunif-package is coded in C++ by relying on the Rcpp-package. The package also provides several novel datasets and gives the replicability for the data applications/ simulations in García-Portugués et al.
