In probability theory and statistics, the bivariate von Mises distribution is a probability distribution describing values on a torus. It may be thought of as an analogue on the torus of the bivariate normal distribution. The distribution belongs to the field of directional statistics. The general bivariate von Mises distribution was first proposed by Kanti Mardia in 1975. One of its variants is today used in the field of bioinformatics to formulate a probabilistic model of protein structure in atomic detail. == Definition == The bivariate von Mises distribution is a probability distribution defined on the torus, in . The probability density function of the general bivariate von Mises distribution for the angles is given by〔 : where and are the means for and , and their concentration and the matrix is related to their correlation. Two commonly used variants of the bivariate von Mises distribution are the sine and cosine variant. The cosine variant of the bivariate von Mises distribution〔 has the probability density function : where and are the means for and , and their concentration and is related to their correlation. is the normalization constant. This distribution with =0 has been used for kernel density estimates of the distribution of the protein dihedral angles and .〔 The sine variant has the probability density function : where the parameters have the same interpretation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bivariate von Mises distribution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
