Description

Nonparametric kernel density estimation, bandwidth selection, and other utilities for analyzing directional data. Implements the estimator in Bai, Rao and Zhao (1987) <doi:10.1016/0047-259X(88)90113-3>, the cross-validation bandwidth selectors in Hall, Watson and Cabrera (1987) <doi:10.1093/biomet/74.4.751> and the plug-in bandwidth selectors in García-Portugués (2013) <doi:10.1214/13-ejs821>.
