R: Random Generation from the Wrapped Cauchy Distribution

rwrpcauchy {CircStats} | R Documentation

## Random Generation from the Wrapped Cauchy Distribution

### Description

Generates pseudo-random numbers from a wrapped Cauchy distribution.

### Usage

    rwrpcauchy(n, location=0, rho=exp(-1))

### Arguments

`n` | number of random variables to generate.
`location` | modal angle in radians of the wrapped Cauchy distribution.
`rho` | concentration parameter. rho must be between 0 and 1.

### Details

n random variables are generated from a Cauchy distribution with location parameter location, and concentration parameter -log(rho). The function returns these values modulo 2*pi.

### Value

Returns a vector of n independent random variables generated from a wrapped Cauchy distribution.
