Random Generation from the Wrapped Normal Distribution
Generates pseudo-random numbers from a wrapped normal distribution.
rwrpnorm(n, mu, rho, sd=1)
n |
number of random variables to generate. |
mu |
mean direction in radians of the wrapped normal distribution. |
rho |
concentration parameter. rho must be between 0 and 1. |
sd |
different way of select |
n random variables are generated from a normal distribution with mean
direction mu, and variance -2*log(rho). The function returns these
values modulo 2*pi. You can set rho by using sd with the following equivalence:
ρ = \exp{- σ^2/2}
Returns a vector of n independent random variables generated from a wrapped normal distribution.
