Modelling complex geological circular data with the projected normal distribution and mixtures of von Mises distributions
Circular data are commonly encountered in the earth sciences and statistical descriptions and inferences about such data are necessary in structural geology. In this paper we compare two statistical distributions appropriate for complex circular data sets: the mixture of von Mises and the projected...
