Unlike conventional linear statistics, circular data is characterised by periodicity and directionality – properties that demand bespoke probability distributions and inference techniques.

Statistics is the science of learning from data. The theoretical foundation of statistics lies in probability theory, which is applied to decision-making under uncertainty. Data science consists of ...

A four-parameter probability distribution, which includes a wide variety of curve shapes, is presented. Because of the flexibility, generality, and simplicity of the distribution, it is useful in the ...
