Kent distribution

Simulation of random values from a spherical Kent distribution.

Usage

rkent(n = 100, mu = c(1, 0, 0), k = 5, b)

Source

Adapted from Directional::rkent()

Arguments

n

integer. number of random samples to be generated

mu

numeric. Can be three element vector, three column array, or an object of class "line" or "plane"

k

numeric. The concentration parameter (\(\kappa\))

b

numeric. \(\beta\) (ellipticity): \(0 \leq \beta < \kappa\)
