public class VonMises
extends AbstractContinousDoubleDistribution

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.
