Von Mises Distribution - Limiting Behavior

Limiting Behavior

In the limit of large κ the distribution becomes a normal distribution

\lim_{\kappa\rightarrow\infty}
f(x|\mu,\kappa)=\frac{\exp\left}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}

where σ2 = 1/κ. In the limit of small κ it becomes a uniform distribution:

where the interval for the uniform distribution U(x) is the chosen interval of length 2π.

Famous quotes containing the words limiting and/or behavior:

    A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    I don’t see much future for the Americans.... Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?
    Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
