    public class VonMises

extends AbstractContinousDistribution

Von Mises distribution.

Valid parameter ranges: `k > 0`.

Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.

Static methods operate on a default uniform random number generator; they are synchronized.

Implementation:

Method: Acceptance Rejection.
This is a port of `mwc.c` from the C-RAND / WIN-RAND library. C-RAND's implementation, in turn, is based upon

D.J. Best, N.I. Fisher (1979): Efficient simulation of the von Mises distribution, Appl. Statist. 28, 152-157.

Constructor Detail

### VonMises

    public VonMises(double freedom,
                    RandomEngine randomGenerator)

  Constructs a Von Mises distribution. Example: k=1.0.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `k <= 0.0`.

Method Detail

### nextDouble

    public double nextDouble()

  Returns a random number from the distribution.

  Specified by:
    `nextDouble` in class `AbstractDistribution`

### nextDouble

    public double nextDouble(double k)

  Returns a random number from the distribution; bypasses the internal state.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `k <= 0.0`.

### setState

    public void setState(double k)

  Sets the distribution parameter.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `k <= 0.0`.

### staticNextDouble

    public static double staticNextDouble(double freedom)

  Returns a random number from the distribution.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `k <= 0.0`.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns a String representation of the receiver.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
