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.
