Figure 4
Equivalent parameterizations of the generalized von Mises distribution of order 2. (a)–(d) Four different instantiations of the GvM2 distribution represented in (left) circular and (right) linear form, as in Fig. 1. Each distribution can be specified using either the expanded expression (1) and the parameters (A, B, C, D) or the order factorized expression (3) and the parameters (μ1, μ2, κ1, κ2). The parameters are given in the table at the bottom of the figure. The derived parameters ρ = κ1/4κ2 and δ = μ1 − μ2 mod(π) are useful for diagnosing the bimodality of the distribution (Salvador & Gatto, 2022a). The vectors internal to the unit circle display the first trigonometric moment of each GvM2 distribution, calculated according to (18). |
