چکیده
Tomasz J. Kozubowski Department of Mathematics, University of Nevada, Reno Abstract: We discuss circular distributions obtained by wrapping the classical exponential and Laplace distributions on the real line around the circle. We present explicit forms for their densities and distribution functions, as well as their trigonometric moments and related parameters, and discuss main properties of these laws. Both distributions are very promising as models for directional data which are asymmetric.

Two nested families of skew-symmetric circular distributions
In this paper, we introduce two new flexible families of unimodal circular distributions obtained by wrapping onto the unit circle two recently explored heavytailed distributions defined on the real line. The first, the four-parameter wrapped normal–Laplace distribution, is nested within the second, the five-parameter wrapped generalized normal–Laplace distribution. Both families contain the wr...
متن کاملSkew-slash distribution and its application in topics regression
In many issues of statistical modeling, the common assumption is that observations are normally distributed. In many real data applications, however, the true distribution is deviated from the normal. Thus, the main concern of most recent studies on analyzing data is to construct and the use of alternative distributions. In this regard, new classes of distributions such as slash and skew-sla...
متن کاملSome moment properties of skew-symmetric circular distributions
Many popular circular distributions, including the most commonly used von Mises distribution, are typically symmetric around a modal direction. To enlarge this class, the authors recently discussed families of skew-symmetric distributions, applying this idea to the von Mises model as an important special case. This paper explores further properties of these skew-symmetric families and their mom...
متن کاملA New Family of Circular Models: The Wrapped Laplace Distributions
sity of Nevada, Reno Abstract: We introduce a new class of asymmetric circular distributions, obtained by wrapping skewed Laplace distributions on the real line, around a circle. We obtain explicit forms for the densities and distribution functions for this family, as well as their trigonometric moments and related parameters. We derive basic properties of these laws and illustrate their modeli...
متن کاملA Family of Skew-Slash Distributions and Estimation of its Parameters via an EM Algorithm
Abstract. In this paper, a family of skew-slash distributions is defined and investigated. We define the new family by the scale mixture of a skew-elliptically distributed random variable with the power of a uniform random variable. This family of distributions contains slash-elliptical and skew-slash distributions. We obtain the moments and some distributional properties of the new family of d...
