Moments of an NNTS density

Description

Computes the first moment, second moment, mean direction, dispersion, circular varance, coefficient of asymmetry and kurtosis from the given parameters of an NNTS density.

Usage

nntsmeasureslocationdispersion(cestimates,M=0)

Arguments

cestimates

Matrix of (M+1)x2. The first column is the parameter numbers, and the second column is the c parameter vecto (or c estimates) of the NNTS model

M

Value

firstmoment

Value of the first trigonometric moment

secondmoment

Value of the second trigonometric moment

meandirection

Value of the mean direction

dispersion

Value of the dispersion

circularvariance

Value of the circular variance

asymmetrycoefficient

Value of the coefficient of asymmetry

kurtosis

Value of the kurtosis
