Abstract
For an absolutely continuous circular random variable, a probability distribution is called a circular distribution if its total probability is concentrated on the circumference of a unit circle. Several circular distributions have been introduced by various authors and researchers. In this paper, we consider a symmetric unimodal distribution on the circle used in the modelling of the circular data by discussing its several distributional properties and characterizations.
