gs.gen.lp.norm(x, p, A)
gs.lp.norm(x,p)
gs.proj.normal(x, mu, sigma)

## S3 method for class 'gensphere.contour'
print(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'gensphere.distribution'
print(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'gensphere.contour'
plot(x,multiplier=1,...)

Arguments

x, y

vectors representing points in d-dimensional space

mu

direction of the mode for a cone/normal bump

theta0

angle between peak of the cone and the base of the cone

B

(d x d) positive definite shape matrix

A

matrix used to compute || A x ||_p

p

power of the l^p norm; p=2 is Euclidean distance

gs.dist

object of class "gensphere.distribution" defined by gensphere

xy.grid

a matrix of (x,y) values in 2-dimensions

cfunc

an object of class "gensphere.contour" defined by cfunc.new, etc.

...

optional arguments to the 2-dimensional plot, e.g. col='red', etc.

sigma

scale parameter for a normal bump

epsilon

vector of positive numbers where there are points added around a particular direction

V1, V2

matrices of vertices which are joined together to get a refinement of the grid

multiplier

a positive number used to scale the contour

Details

These are undocumented functions that are used internally. The functions gs.cone, gs.elliptical, gs.gen.lp.norm, gs.lp.norm, gs.proj.normal, gs.vfunc.eval are used in evalutating a contour function. RefineSphericalTessellation, NearbyPointsOnSphere are used in defining the tessellation of the contour that identifies bumps and cones. gs.pdf2d.plot and the plot/print methods are initial attempts at plotting and printing a summary of objects.

These functions may change or disappear in the future.
