Von Mises Distribution #818
Conversation
|
@NAThompson This should be good for review. The only major outstanding change from the last cut at this was removing all the double precision magic numbers which I have. I would have just made the edits on the linked PR, but since the guy deleted his account I can't access the branch. |

@jzmaddock : IIRC we now use Real instead of RealType? Obviously a nitpick.

Maybe use “≤” (U+2264) which I think is \u2264 in .qbk?

If the CDF is periodic, is it sensible to restrict the angle like this?

| The CDF of this distribution is not analytic so an approximation is made. |

Does the approximation mean that multiprecision types should be rejected?

Might we test the quadrature of the pdf = 1?
|
@mborland : I've approved, but with the caveat that I don't know much about this. We'll probably want a second review from @jzmaddock . |

Any update on this? |
#330 looked very close to completion so this is my attempt to foster it. Also see #296
