dvm

von Mises Density Function

Returns the von Mises density function evaluated at a particular value.

dvm(theta, mu, kappa)

`theta`	vector of angles measured in radians at which to evaluate the density function.
`mu`	mean direction of the distribution measured in radians.
`kappa`	non-negative numeric value for the concentration parameter of the distribution.

Returns the von Mises density function evaluated at theta.
