circular_mode function

Circular Mode

MLE angle (maximum density) using a von Mises distribution kernel with specified concentration.

circular_mode(x, kappa = NULL, axial = TRUE, n = 512)

Arguments

• x: numeric vector. Values in degrees.
• kappa: von Mises distribution concentration parameter. Will be estimated using est.kappa() if not provided.
• axial: logical. Whether the data are axial, i.e. pi-periodical (TRUE, the default) or directional, i.e. $2 \pi$-periodical (FALSE).#' @param kappa
• n: the number of equally spaced points at which the density is to be estimated.

Returns

numeric

Examples

set.seed(1)
x <- rvm(10, 0, 100)
circular_mode(x, kappa = est.kappa(x))
