rwrappedstable: Random Generation from the Wrapped Stable Distribution
In circular: Circular Statistics

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References

Generates pseudo-random numbers from a wrapped stable distribution.

1	rwrappedstable(n, scale=1, index, skewness, control.circular=list())

`n`	number of random numbers to generate.
`scale`	the scale of the distribution.
`index`	number from the interval (0, 2]. An index of 2 corresponds to the normal, 1 to the Cauchy. Smaller values mean longer tails.
`skewness`	number giving the modified skewness. Negative values correspond to skewness to the left (the median is smaller than the mean, if it exists), and positive values correspond to skewness to the right (the median is larger than the mean). The absolute value of skewness should not exceed 1.
`control.circular`	the attribute of the resulting object.

n random numbers are generated from a stable distribution with with parameters index, skewness and scale. The function returns these values modulo 2*pi.

Returns a vector of n independent random numbers generated from a wrapped stable distribution.
