  2. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    Directional statistics (also circular statistics or spherical statistics) is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in Euclidean space, R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n. More generally, directional statistics deals with observations on compact Riemannian manifolds including the ...

  3. Circular distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_distribution

    In probability and statistics, a circular distribution or polar distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose values are angles, usually taken to be in the range [0, 2π). [1] A circular distribution is often a continuous probability distribution , and hence has a probability density , but such distributions can also be ...

  4. Circular analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_analysis

    In statistics, circular analysis is the selection of the details of a data analysis using the data that is being analysed. It is often referred to as double dipping, as one uses the same data twice. Circular analysis unjustifiably inflates the apparent statistical strength of any results reported and, at the most extreme, can lead to the ...

  5. Wrapped normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrapped_normal_distribution

    The circular standard deviation, which is a useful measure of dispersion for the wrapped normal distribution and its close relative, the von Mises distribution is given by: s = ln ⁡ ( R − 2 ) 1 / 2 = σ {\displaystyle s=\ln(R^{-2})^{1/2}=\sigma }

  6. von Mises distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Mises_distribution

    In probability theory and directional statistics, the von Mises distribution (also known as the circular normal distribution or the Tikhonov distribution) is a continuous probability distribution on the circle. It is a close approximation to the wrapped normal distribution, which is the circular analogue of the normal distribution.

  7. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    In mathematics and statistics, a circular mean or angular mean is a mean designed for angles and similar cyclic quantities, such as times of day, and fractional parts of real numbers. This is necessary since most of the usual means may not be appropriate on angle-like quantities.

  8. Circular uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_uniform_distribution

    In probability theory and directional statistics, a circular uniform distribution is a probability distribution on the unit circle whose density is uniform for all ...

  9. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    Circular bivariate normal distribution 20 hits distribution example. The original concept of CEP was based on a circular bivariate normal distribution (CBN) with CEP as a parameter of the CBN just as μ and σ are parameters of the normal distribution.
