R Documentation

Random Generation from the Cardoid Distribution

Generates pseudo-random numbers from a cardoid distribution.

rcard(n, mu, r)

`n`	number of random variables to generate.
`mu`	mean direction of the distribution in radians.
`r`	concentration parameter of the distribution. The absolute value of r must be less than 0.5.

An acceptance/rejection method of simulation is employed.

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