Fernandez-Duran, J.J. (2004) proposed a new family of distributions for circular random variables based on nonnegative trigonometric sums. This package provides functions for working with circular distributions based on nonnegative trigonometric sums, including functions for estimating the parameters and plotting the densities.

The distribution function in this package is a circular distribution based on nonnegative trigonometric sums (Fernandez-Duran, 2004). Fejer (1915) expressed a univariate nonnegative trigonometric (Fourier) sum (series), for a variable \theta, as the squared modulus of a sum of complex numbers, i.e.,

\left\|\sum_{k=0}^M c_ke^{ik\theta}\right\|^2\;\;\; (1)

where i=\sqrt{-1}. From this result, the parameters (a_k,b_k) for k=1,\ldots, M of the trigonometric sum of order M,T(\theta),

T(\theta)=a_0 + \sum_{k=1}^M(a_kcos(k\theta) + b_ksin(k\theta))

are expressed in terms of the complex parameters in Equation 1 , c_k, for k=0,\ldots, M, as a_k - ib_k= 2\sum_{\nu=0}^{n-k}c_{\nu + k}\overline{c}_{\nu}. The additional constraint, \sum_{k=0}^n\left\|c_k\right\|^2=\frac{1}{2\pi}=a_0, is imposed to make the trigonometric sum to integrate one. Thus, c_0 must be real and positive, and there are 2*M free parameters. Then, the probability density function for a circular (angular) random variable is defined as (Fernandez-Duran, 2004)

f(\theta; \underline{a},\underline{b},M)=\frac{1}{2\pi} + \frac{1}{\pi}\ \sum_{k=1}^M(a_kcos(k\theta) + b_ksin(k\theta)).

Note that Equation 1 can also be expressed as a double sum as

\sum_{k=0}^{M}\sum_{m=0}^{M}c_k\bar{c}_me^{i(k-m)\theta}

.

The \underline{c} parameters can also be expressed in polar coordinates as c_k=\rho_k e^{i\phi_k} for \rho_k \geq 0 and \phi_k \in [0,2\pi); where \rho_k is the modulus of c_k and \phi_k is the argument of c_k for k=1,\ldots,M. Many functions of the packages use as parameters the squared moduli and the arguments of c_k, \rho_k^2 and \phi_k, for k=1,\ldots,M. We refer to the parameter M as the number of components in the NNTS.
