draw.von.mises {UnivRNG} | R Documentation |
Generates variates from Von Mises distribution
Description
This function implements pseudo-random number generation for a Von Mises distribution with pdf
f(x|K)=\frac{1}{2\pi I_{0}(K)}e^{Kcos(x)}
for -\pi \leq x \leq \pi
and K > 0
where I_{0}(K)
is a modified Bessel function of the first kind of order 0.
Usage
draw.von.mises(nrep,K)
Arguments
nrep |
Number of data points to generate. |
K |
Parameter of the desired von Mises distribution. |
Value
A list of length three containing generated data, the theoretical mean, and the empirical mean with names y, theo.mean, and emp.mean, respectively.
